    Also you'll need to run upgrade_to_v320.js with jsexec, from your sbbs/exec directory:

    jsexec upgrade_to_v320.js

    jsexec upgrade_to_v320.js

    update.js automatically runs that script when needed, so 'jsexec update.js' should be all that's needed to be run by a upgrading sysop.

    jsexec upgrade_to_v320.js

    Doesn't upgrade.js call this? There's also an executable that has to be run too.

    root@bbs:/sbbs/exec# grep 320 update.js
    js.exec("upgrade_to_v320.js", {});
    var cmdline = system.exec_dir + "upgrade_to_v320";

    You definitely want to make sure you run stuff in the right order.

    Yeah, I keep forgetting. I only did the upgrade to 3.20 once, and it was a while ago. :)

    I was an early adapter and went through it a couple of times to help track down bugs in the conversion and recover from corruption or lost data in the .ini files. At that time, I don't think the seperate processes were built into the one.

    At least that does help everyone just have to use the one script with a fair amount of confidence they're not going to have to restore from backup :)
