For the last few weeks, when I get logged in on my bbs, I get sent to node 2 instead of node 1.
While I'm logged in, when I check for who's on, it shows node 1 "waiting for call" with me logged on node 2. If I do a "mystic -N1 -L", I get a "BUSY" result.
Try shutting down MIS and then deleting the file nodeinfo.now from the mystic\semaphore directory.

Since it happened well after the upgrade, I don't think it was the
upgrade. I must have done something to create the issue, I'm just out of ideas. Can anyone offer any suggestions for me to check out?
Run nodespy and try killing the ghost node. That should remove it.

I ran nodespy and none of the 4 nodes were in use so no kill ghost
node option was available.
Additional info, when I run the /W (who's online), I see that I'm on
node 2 with nobody on the others. I'm thinking of downgrading to A48
and seeing if the issue goes away.
I'll keep trying!
Hello ogg,The botcheck is an addon (smooth@phenomprod.com) that I've installed, not written. I'll get into the code and see what I can see, but thanks for the note!

FYI, I just tested this on my Mystic install, and I'm currently sitting
on the node screen seeing myself logged into node 1. I'm currently
using: Mystic BBS v1.12 A49 Linux/64 Compiled 2023/03/14 06:42:21.
Then I noticed you were using a newer version, so I upgraded to the latest: Mystic BBS v1.12 A49 Linux/64 Compiled 2023/04/30 11:57:00, and
I get the same results. However, I see you're using the Windows 64bit version, so that's the only clear difference I see.
Before any questions, I telnetted over, and noticed your bot checker; after you hit escape twice, it says: "Detecting terminal emulation: |!botcheck1_2 TE detected." = I'm guessing there's a couple typos there, as it seems you're trying to run something called "botcheck1_2", but
using the wrong pipe code or missing something there, and you need a
pipe before TE in order for that second pipe code to actually work. Just with that one line, I'm going to take a wild stab at you may have a typo somewhere that's causing this. :)
Bear with me, I haven't run Mystic on Windows in over a decade..
How are you running the server (ie: what command line are you using)?
Do you have any events (see event editor) setup to run on node 1? If so, you may want to try changing those to your highest node number.. andNo events that would specifically call out node 1.
don't forget to restart the mystic server after any changes.
Do you have a local login ("mystic -l" or something similar) running in the background? Could take a look at your task manager and see if
anything odd is running besides one instance of the mystic server itself.

I've been over all of the running services and nothing sticks out. As
a side note, I did install Mystic on a laptop running Ubuntu just to
check things out. It ran fine with logins starting with node 1. As
soon as I moved the screen, data and other files over from the windows board, I got the same node 2 issues. I suspect that the issue is with
one of the "configuration" files having either some sort of corruption (maybe my creation?) or configuration issue. I just need to figure
out which one.
A good place to look for that would be your mystic/data directory. I just watched my data directory, and logged in to node 1, and the only fileThat did it!!!! Thank you, thank you!
that was created was 'chat1.dat', so if you have that file in your data directory while NOT logged into your BBS.. it's safe to try to delete
that file and see if that helps.
