 AL> Try renaming it to STATUS (all uppercase.)

Hmm... I'm not sure that will do anything (as I would have expected an error
in the logs if it were the case).

To be honest, I dont know how they work?

So I renamed it uppercase, but the req file is still sitting in the inbound

mbse@874a834fd027:~/data$ ls -al inbound magic/
inbound:
total 4
drwxr-x---  2 mbse bbs  26 Sep 15 23:04 .
drwxr-xr-x 24 mbse bbs 292 Sep  7 23:01 ..
-rw-------  1 mbse bbs   7 Sep 14 11:18 027901fd.req

magic/:
total 8
drwxr-x---  2 mbse bbs  36 Sep 15 22:59 .
drwxr-xr-x 24 mbse bbs 292 Sep  7 23:01 ..
-rw-r--r--  1 mbse bbs  11 Sep 14 08:33 FSX_NODE
-rwxr-xr-x  1 mbse bbs 310 Sep  5 22:29 STATUS

What triggers the req to be processed?

(And I'm assuming sending a req file is a FREQ right?)
