Hello All!

I have my msgsmaint set to run at 2:20am, and also the "always run after re-init to NO" But when I start sbbs after a day or so the msgsmaint always
runs, should it do that or wait till my event?

Thanks,
RickV

No, that shouldn't happen. Is it completing the run of the event successfully? The log output of your event thread would be important to check what's going on. Also, your ctrl/time.ini file (in v3.20+) will have the date/time stamp for when the event last ran successfully.

And does the ctrl/time.ini file reflect that successful execution?

In the time.ini, msgmaint ran at 13:30 on Mar 21st. Tha when I started sbbs. The event does complete list it should, but it shouldn't be running then I would think.
