Hello g00r00!

If I run mutil from another directory than the one with mutil.ini in it, mutil complains about not being able to find mutil.ini, despite having the mysticbbs environment variable set (pointing to the base Mystic directory with mutil.ini in it):

bbs@glimmer:~$ set | grep mysticbbs
mysticbbs=/home/bbs/mystic

bbs@glimmer:~$ mutil -run MergeNodeLists

    Load configuration      Missing file                          FATAL

From /home/bbs/mystic/logs/errors.log:

2022.23.01 21:24:46 MUTIL 000 Invalid INI file: mutil.ini

Would it be possible for mutil to observe the mysticbbs environment variable and look for mutil.ini (or any other INI file without a path specified on the command line) there?

Thanks in advance!

Best regards
Bj”rn
