    Hey DM,

    I think think the file glob is resolving in MSGMAINT.

    Ive noticed that my message base is not pruning, and discovered that MSGMAINT doesnt run:

    Oct 25 05:00:01 p-1-1 synchronet: evnt MSGMAINT *.shd doesn't exist (use -c to create)

    The event is configured as:
    %!smbutil%. mp1000 *.shd */*.shd

    (Most of my subs are in dirs in ../data/subs - eg: ../data/subs/fsx/)

    Do you know why isnt it resolving the file glob? How do I fix it?

    Native Executable and Use New Shell are both set to yes

    Howdy,

    I think think the file glob is resolving in MSGMAINT.

    OK, forget this.

    Its funny how the penny drops after you press send. I assume the current path is set to ../data/subs and I have no shd's in that path - mail is above it, and my network subs are in a dir below it.

    ... To think too long about doing a thing often becomes its undoing.

    What is start-up directory set to? Assuming its set to ../data/subs (the default), and if you don't have any sub data in data/subs, that would explain the error. Just remove the "*.shd" from the command-line in that case.
