    From Mojo@VERT/OVERFIT to DOVE-Net.DOVE-Net_Sysops on Tue Nov 18 04:00:09 2025
    Hi all,

    How can I force a user/node cleanly to recycle and kick off the user
    (hung node) without restarting the entire sbbs.

    Yep, I've tried a combinations of those
    node down off 1
    node intr off 1
    node status=5 1
    but the node still reflects the hung user still on the node and just
    puts the letter of what i did next to the node in square brackets.

    You can recycle the terminal server (which is a bit less than "restarting the entire bbs"). https://wiki.synchro.net/config:semfiles

    The recycle one sounds like what I need thanks, will try that.
