• Binkit/Tickit Poll issue

    From Ray Quinn@1:103/705 to GitLab note in main/sbbs on Mon Jan 22 14:39:09 2024

    It doesn't look like anything has been done yet. I am hopeful that it soon will.

    Lately, since binkit is still trying to call out to the nodes whose addresses are set to hold (tickit is creating .flo files instead of .hlo files), and creating .bsy files when it does, the inbound area fills up and tickit doesn't run to process incoming .tic files. After deleting the .bsy file(s), tickit will run as it should. Before it does, I append the corresponding .flo to the .hlo file manually.

    Not being a programmer, I have no idea where to look in the code to attempt to repair it. I am hopeful that someone who can, will correct this. In the meantime, I will have to return to Husky's htick. I like that binkit, tickit, etc., are all integrated and requires fewer configuration files.

    Thanks!!

    Hi all! I still have too many call out's from binkit for downlinks nodes.
    I know that is not problem.. But they are wasting meaningless resources, including filling up the binkit log with noise that these nodes would never connect to.
    binkit should never call nodes that are not marked for polling

    It's not so much a binkit issue as it is a tickit issue... I read your
    issue at the link above and can also confirm that this is still
    happening. In fact you can have a downlink on "Pause" (their connected
    link section has "Passive = true" in it), and Tickit will still create
    .dlo files to send them the file referenced in an incoming .TIC.

    There are a couple of other bugs/feature requests pending for Tickit
    also... Hopefully some attention soon! :-)
