The Access Requirements exclude you from seeing it?
You have set to Execute On Event ... Only?
The terminal server hasn't been able to reload the configuration (nodes are still in use)?

That's an easy one...
In your /ctrl/sbbs.ini ... in the [BBS] Terminal Server section...
find "Options=<blah><blah>... and make sure "XTRN_MINIMIZED" is
one of the options (seperated by the pipe symbol).
Save and restart.
That's a no go, already defined. >That is a Windows option, and has zero affect on DOSemu :(Mortifis wrote to Digital Man <=-

That option (XTRN_MINIMIZED) only applies to Windows versions of sbbs. http://wiki.synchro.net/config:sbbs.ini#bbs

why are you doing all of that?? you only need the one part pointing to dosemu...

I am doing that because when a DOS Door is run, dosemu opens a full
window and takes complete control of the system,
as per http://wiki.synchro.net/howto:dosemu I added changed sbbs.ini
to DOSemuPath=myscript.sh ->
#!/bin/sh
exec /path/to/dosemu/dosemu -T "$@"
which has no affect.
I also run Synchronet as a daemon, this problem persists whether I am
in console or Desktop mode. (Slack 14.2 dosemu 1.4.0.8)

perhaps we should look at your dosemu settings? not in sbbs but in your /etc? i
rather doubt there is something in the default settings that would affect this,
though...

#!/bin/sh
exec /path/to/dosemu/dosemu -T "$@"
which has no affect.
the above is using the dosemu wrapper but previously you were invoking dosemu.bin... but there's this script that you have which should not be needed,
either... have you tried something ""normal"" like this?
DOSemuPath=/usr/bin/dosemu.bin -t
are you running sbbs with Xwindows? my servers are not... none of myservers
have any GUI, only CLI... they are actually in their own VMs that i manage via SSH to the command line, generally 6 SSH sessions to one server... on my workstation, yes, i'm running KDE and using syncterm or netrunner to connect to
the BBS for that side of the experience...
i also note that http://www.dosemu.org/docs/README/1.4/x553.html says the following...
----- snip -----
8.1. Basic information
If you start dosemu in X it brings up its own window, in which you can also execute graphical programs such as games. To force text-only execution of DOSEMU in an xterm or other terminal (konsole, gnome-terminal, and so on), you need to run dosemu -t.
----- snip -----
i'm looking specifically at the difference between "-T" and "-t" but dosemu maymatters
see them as the same thing... unlike most other *nix apps where case
with command line parameters...
I also run Synchronet as a daemon, this problem persists whether I am in console or Desktop mode. (Slack 14.2 dosemu 1.4.0.8)
as a daemon via "Daemonize=True" or as a daemon from /etc/init.d??
FWIW: my dosemu works both ways... default settings from ~/.dosemu as well as defaults from /sbbs/ctrl/.dosemu... however, there's a few differences:
1. i modified my /sbbs/ctrl/.dosemu config.sys and autoexec.bat
to load nansi.sys, share.exe, and bnu fossil. those edits
eliminate emusetup.bat from my operation.
2. my ~/.dosemu is stock and has no access to any of my sbbs
stuff so i can't get there (to sbbs stuff) from "desktop mode".
so anyway, i can't help but to think that you're somehow making things too complex when KIS principle should work as desired...
when a DOS Door is called (either remote or local) my system open a full black screen and I loose control until the door exited. Any ideas what is causing that? just in case it matter the OS is Slackware 14.2 4.4.14; DOSemu 1.4.0.8

Sorry, no experience with DOSemu here. :-/

I have tried the above; dosemu -t; doors.sh; and many other variances all having the same affect

nope, like I stated I am using Slackware 14.2 native (not under a VM)
I have tried both, dosemu interprets -t and -T the same, however, as I
stated, this happens *only* happens when SBBS calls a DOS Door,
whether I personally be sitting in console or in KDE.
