    DM,

    Is there a way to automatically have the stats/totals for my BBS entry update automatically, as if I deleted/re-added my entry as part of maintanance? I noticed that I have the ability to edit my totals manually, but I was wondering if there was some way to automate as part of maintenance. I looked at
    http://wiki.synchro.net/module:sbbslist?s[]=bbs&s[]=list

    Is this something that the sbbslist,js -update command can do? I saw the wiki comment "Many commands are only there for trouble-shooting or experimental purposes." and I didn't know if this was just for trouble-shooting.

    Thanks,
    -WitNik

    What you're describing is exactly what the "sbbslist.js -update" command does. If you compare your BBS entry in sbbslist.json before/after running that command, you should see the "total" object's properties change to reflect your current system stats (assuming they've changed). You can look at case "update" in exec/sbbslist.js for how it works.

    Awesome! Thanks for the clarification. Next time, I'll try to go to the code first before asking. =)
