|09Hi All,

I have written a few Linux scripts for my Talisman BBS that I thought I
would share.

They're available at:

|15https://github.com/spiroharvey/talisman-bbs-scripts|09

They're the shell scripts I've written for managing my FTN stuff as well
as systemd service files.

|14bbs.service|09 for starting and stopping the main BBS

|14binkd.service|09 for binkd

|14bbs-filewatch.service|09 for monitoring for incoming tic files and
triggers my tic processor (I use one I wrote years ago called stick,
available on my github as well at
|15https://github.com/spiroharvey/stick|09)

|14bbs-semwatch.service|09 to monitor the netmail and echomail semaphore
files and trigger Talisman's postie scan

The main reason for the last two is that I haven't currently had much
success with the in-built Talisman events. Hopefully when it improves
then I will not need these scripts, but they might still be useful if you
want to know how to use this functionality for something else.

Those scripts use a package called inotify-tools that can be made to
watch files for modifications (as in sem-watch) or directories for new
files (as in file_watch).
