  • Linux: GTK Monitor shows incorrect external program that the user is r

    I'm using a recent Linux build of Synchronet, and I've noticed that when I'm running a door, GTK Monitor shows I'm running a different door.It looks like Synchronet logs it correctly to /var/log/syslog though.Example: I have a door set up called Sunrise Trivia, with the internal code TRIVIA_S. When I run it, /var/log/syslog shows the correct log entry:`Oct 10 19:11:58 EO-BBS-NIX synchronet: term Node 1 <Nightfox> running external program: Sunrise Trivia`However, GTK Monitor shows this:`Nightfox running LORD: BBSLink via rlogin`The internal code for "LORD: BBSLink" is LORDBBSL, so I don't think it's getting confused with the internal code (and it is running the correct door).

    I'm not sure if this is a real issue. Nelgin & Dan_C say it's working okay for them.Pethaps it doesn't affect all doors

    Was there a recent change to the external programs configured in SCFG->External Programs->Online Programs? You might have to rerun GTKmonitor for it to reload the xtrn.cnf file in that case.For further debugging, it could be helpful to run "node -debug" and paste the output. The "aux" value should correlate with the external program number, the zero-based sequence number, as loaded from the xtrn.cnf file.

    Ah, I didn't know about node. And I did change some external programs. Re-running GTK Monitor helped. I'll close the issue.

With other doors, GTK Monitor displays the correct one. It seems the doors in my first external program section display correctly in GTK Monitor, but when I start running doors in other sections, it seems that's when GTK Monitor starts displaying the wrong door name.

    There is an enhancement or fix needed here: when changes are made/saved via SCFG, GTKmonitor needs to auto-reload the configuration files to get this (and possibly other) configuration information correct.
