I'm getting...

+ 22 Apr 05:40:23 AFIX ALLFIX v6.1.000 02-Feb-19 17:08
# 22 Apr 05:40:23 AFIX Command : Rp -SRIF c:\ele\irex\outbound\000c0000.srf
! 22 Apr 05:40:23 AFIX Invalid SRIF file: c:\ele\irex\outbound\000c0000.srf
# 22 Apr 05:40:23 AFIX RP: FREQs [0 ] Service [0 ]
% 22 Apr 05:40:23 AFIX Nothing to do (14:32)



And my binkd command is:

exec "@start /min c:\\ele\\allfix\\bink.bat *S" *.req

Any ideas, or something else I could try? A different FREQ processory maybe?

I've had multiple people send me freqs. My netmail reader is identifying
them as file requests.

I replied you to netmail, but here it goes again:

You are starting here allfix in a separate session, but binkd is not waiting for it to finish. Consider adding /wait.

You need to use ! in front of the command, like

exec !"@c:\\ele\\allfix\\allfix.exe rp -srif *S" *.req

I don't remember the exact syntax for windows.

I'm pretty sure I'm using the proper syntax for windows. I've never needed a
! before for any other commands that run. I've added a /wait between /min
and the command.

Do we have any input from Windows users? I think that's an OS/2 thing, but I could be wrong. My commands for dealing with .tic and weekly packets run normally and they don't have a ! in front of them. I'll try it if you really think it's necessary.

This is what I used on Win7 when I still had Allfix:

exec "!d:\\fido\\\\allfix.exe RP -SRIF *S" *.REQ

You are wrong. How about reading the manual?

How hard it can be to understand that you need to run the freq processor DURING the mail session. Not after it.

You can process tics and pkts next week if you want, but the response to the freq must be sent before disconnecting the session.

Are the files you're creating or that are coming in uppercase, by chance? Either way, here is the documentation directly from binkd.conf-dist:

<-- SNIP -->
# Run an external program.
# The "*S" macro in command line substed with S.R.I.F., see !SRIF.TXT
# The "!" before program pathname means immediate program execution

# *H - remote hostname or IP,
