subject: No Timeout setting

Hi,

I've toggled the "No Timeout" setting for my account (Mystic v1.12 A45 2020/08/26 (Linux/32)); but after sometime, the BBS would just boot me back out (if I was telnet'd) or back to the bash prompt (if I just use 'mystic -l').  I don't see any errors in the node?.log.

I haven't timed how long before it boots me; but I thought that the setting would prevent this.

That said, the way it booted me looks like somehow the BBS crashed (but it didn't as there aren't any errors showing).

If "No timeout" is set to true, wouldn't 1) The time on the top right stay the same?  2) If the timeout was in effect, wouldn't a message saying (along the lines of) "Sorry, you have used up all your time"?

I have my time set to 9999.

Any information appreciated.

Edmund
