Hello all,
I have been having some issues with my event editor in Mystic in which settings have been reverting back.
I have an event the posts an BBS Advert, it is meant to send out Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, however the event editor has reverted the settings to the default ever 12 hour interval settings.
I am not sure if Mystic needs to be recycled to accept changes the the settings, but this time I have recycled, and even restarted my entire server just so I can check to see if the settings stick. I will monitor to make sure it sticks. However I thought I would share my settings, just in case I made an error I can't see to see if that is why mystic is reverting. The following are the settings to that event, please let me know if I am doing something wrong here.

Active | Yes Mon | Yes
Description | BBS Advert Tue | No
Event Type | Interval Wed | Yes
Exec Hour | 23 Thu | No
Exec Min | 59 Fri | Yes
Shell | mutil posttext.ini Sat | No
Prefix ./ | Yes Sun | No

Hello neoshock!

I have been having some issues with my event editor in Mystic in
which settings have been reverting back.

This has happened to me, too, although after re-adjusting the settings they usually stick. (MIS/Mystic does need to be restarted for the changes to take effect, if I remember correctly.)

Someone suggested earlier that one should shutdown MIS first, then change the events (./mystic -cfg), and then start MIS again, in order to avoid this from happening.

Best regards

Thank you for the confirmation it does appear that the settings has now stuck after restarting Mystic. I will now remember this for the future.
Sorry to everyone about that spam in the bbs adverts area, it was not my intentions to send that many messages.
