Sorry, did in the message that I accidently aborted, when I mean force the ctrl
dir on jsexec or sbbsctrl I would have to either make a script that set the
sbbsctrl env variable before running or run ./scfg /sbbs/ctrl or cd into
/sbbs/ctrl and run ../exec/scfg  

but it works now.. no problems..

Yeah, I did'nt understand that.. but the variables are now set in
/etc/environment and nowhere else and I no longer have issues.. I had to take

You've got that right.. you think it would be too damn simple to screw up..
leave it to me..

Thanks again Rob.
