Re: LinBPQ Node remove all BBS & Chat from bpq32.cfg

 

I don't know if the linux versions use it, but also look for a BBS=1 configuration, and set it to BBS=0.? I don't remember is SIMPLE sets this or not but would imagine setting BBS=0 would take care of either case.

Re: LinBPQ Node remove all BBS & Chat from bpq32.cfg

 

Remove the BBS and Chat application lines and the LINMAIL and LINCHAT lines from bpq32.cfg. You could remove the bbs and chat config files, but I'd just leave them in case I decided to use them in the future.?

Just want to make sure I get it right first time.

Something must be going wrong here, If you remove a AXIP MAP record (and so long as you don't have AUTOADDMAP set) you will not be able to send or receive NETROM packets to/from that station over that link. The route will be added back from BPQNODES.dat when you reboot, but as you can't receive from that station the route will be removed. Unless you've disabled keepalives this will take a few minutes otherwise quite a lot longer. Next time you close down the node to restart it BPQNODES.dat will be updated and the route will be removed.

Note that this won't necessarily remove the station from your NODES table, as you may be receiving it via another station. Also note that this has nothing to do with mail forwarding.

I may be misunderstanding your problem, but if the above isn't happening then there is a bug that needs to be investigated.

Good Evening Mark,
???? Good to hear from you on here! I did try completely purging all records (User, NetRom, etc.) which I forgot to mention in the post. They kept repopulating though especially the BPQNODES.dat file. Hopefully it won't be any time soon I need to remove another node from mapping though. Next week as time permits I may play with the mapping again and see if there is another way I missed including purging the nodes dat file again to see if I just goofed purging it the first time. For the time being if I need to drop another node I'll just wipe the port again.

???? Hope all is well up there Mark, take care.

Re: Howto: get a msg that has failed to forward to try again

 

Thanks for the sysop command!


Re: Howto: get a msg that has failed to forward to try again

 

I¡¯ll try that, thanks


Re: Mapping Problems & resolution

 

Greg,

I think there may be more to removing a forwarding partner than simply removing his MAP entry. You probably should remove his Forwarding? and User records as well. And, removing him from your netrom network cache wouldn't hurt either.

Here's how I would remove him from the network cache.

1. Shut down bpq
2. Go to the linbpq directory
3a. Edit the file BPQNODES.dat and remove all instances of the former partner
or
3b. Completely remove the BPQNODES.dat file
4. restart bpq

BPQNODES.dat is the backup file that is written periodically by bpq. It's purpose is to immediately populate the netrom nodes list upon bpq bootup. If you simply delete the file as in step 3B, bpq will utimately rebuild the file once it has had enough time to rebuild its nodes list.

Hi, Jim:

Did you try:
Log on to the BBS as a SYSOP user and enter
reroutemsgs

73, Chuck


Re: Howto: get a msg that has failed to forward to try again

 

Perhaps it is this, Since the forward P to many was added I noticed that the PN indicator does not change, tho it does in fact forward to many as is witnessed in the logs.

Not sure if there is anything that can be done to that but just noting an observation.? Just throwing it out there.


Re: Howto: get a msg that has failed to forward to try again

 

If it is showing as queued on the forwarding record simply click on Start Forwarding.

If you changed the parameters so that it should forward to a different partner then go to Mail Mgmt, Messages, then click on the call of the station you want it to forward to, changing the box to yellow, then Save.? Start forwarding from the Mail Mgmt, Forwarding screen as above.

Re: 64bit version ?

 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

There aren't 64 bit versions of bpq32.dll, BPQMail.exe or BPQChat.exe.

It is possible to build LinBPQ for Windows in either 32 or 64 bit versions.

Re: Having trouble configuring LinBPQ on Raspberry PI

 

use crontab

@reboot /root/bpq/run.sh

--------

run.sh?
#!/bin/bash
#
cd /root/bpq
if pgrep -x "linbpq" > /dev/null
then
? ? kill $(pgrep -x "linbpq")
fi
sleep 10
./linbpq >/dev/null 2>/dev/null &

--------------

You can also do a linbpq restart every 6 hours

0 */6 * * * /root/bpq/run.sh

-----------------

There are many Linux distros that do not use systemd
The best option is to use crontab?

Re: Having trouble configuring LinBPQ on Raspberry PI

 

The other copy of linbpq that is running might have been started as a service.

Check /etc/systemd and look for any likely suspects. e.g. bpq.service or linbpq.service etc.

Also, run the following command.

systemctl list-units --type=service

You may need to scroll up/down the output to locate the instance.

As Todd has has mentioned Alias is limited to 6 char but it also can't include a - character.

Bind Error 98 almost always means you have another copy of linbpq running.

First, nodealias is limited to six (6) characters. Try changing NODEALIAS
to NFDNOD and see if that clears the error. This is likely the issue

VARA on seperate platform and autostart

 

I am in the planning stages of adding VARA to an up and running LinBPQ site that is using Direwolf for VHF. Our intention is to use a CAT controlled radio that has yet to be acquired. On my test system at home, I have VARA, Flrig, hamlib and of course Wine on a Pi 4B. I have successfully controlled my IC-7300 from a test version of LinBPQ running on a Pi 3. I have also used the same instance of VARA with Pat from other platforms, both Linux and Windows.

It would be simpler and less disruptive to add VARA to the live site by adding a second Pi with VARA and friends already configured. Then, all I would have to do is add the VARA Radio and Port to the existing version of LinBPQ. That leads to two questions:

  • Is running separate platforms an acceptable solution? Is there and upside or downside or is this neutral other than expense.
  • How do you autostart VARA, FLRIG and Hamlib? This has to be tackled regardless. I¡¯m using the systemd method on our live site.

I appreciate the help I have recieved here in the past. This project is moving slowly because we don't have internet at the site but it is coming.
