    From Chad Adams@1:19/37 to All on Mon Nov 18 09:27:02 2024
    In mystic, how do hubs running mystic usually handle hatching files with unknown extensions or filenames.

    For example,

    If I have a nodelist that the extension changes for the date (.z81, .z04, etc) - how do you write the mutil ini script to autohatch the file once created and written to the filebase?

    Are you using a Linux script to write a custom ini file? Or is there a way in Linux to do so? You cannot use wildcards, as I found.

    TIA

    This seems to work for me. Not sure if it is correct or not.

    [AutoHatch]

    ; Files will be automatically hatched to connceted downlinks
    ; Each file must already exist in the file base. The format
    ; file=<base ID or echotag> | filename | replaces filename (optional)
