    Please keep in mind that the recommended init strings in the manual in most cases will not work if your trying to host a bbs system. You will have to play around with the init strings to get it to work.

    yes, it should be openrc or systemd in linux, bash is not supported, oh well it looks like bash, but the intepretter is not bash

    ----- binkd begins -----
    #!/sbin/openrc-run

    depend() {
    need net localmount
    use dns logger clock wlan
    after bootmisc hostname
    }

    start() {
    ebegin "Starting binkd"
    start-stop-daemon --start --user ${BINKD_USER} --exec /usr/bin/binkd --pidfile ${BINKD_PID} -- ${BINKD_OPTIONS} ${BINKD_CFG}
    eend $?
    }

    stop() {
    ebegin "Stopping binkd"
    start-stop-daemon --stop --user ${BINKD_USER} --exec /usr/bin/binkd --pidfile ${BINKD_PID}
    eend $?
    } ----- binkd ends -----

    works on gentoo :)

    ----- binkd begins -----
    # /etc/conf.d/binkd: config file for /etc/init.d/binkd

    # Options to pass to the binkd daemon.
    # See the binkd(8) man page for more info.

    # dont use root
    BINKD_USER="xpoint"

    # change xpoint to what user dir is home dir BINKD_CFG="/home/xpoint/config/binkd.conf"

    # pid file must be in homedir

    yes, it should be openrc or systemd

    Both are just a different sorts of faggotry...

    maybe, i am disapointed by commodore that allowed microsoft to deliver basic roms to commodore pets and c64 vic20 c128, this was perfect way of stoping better software in the case there was never any virus updates to roms software

    i had hoped to see fully dokumented asm code for basic roms so it could be developed updates to them, but maybe we would just have created basic patch software, hmm

    on the other side COMAL 80 was the best alternative, just not many that at that time of selling nobody know about, and who did, did not pay more attention to, it was also more expensive then the basic roms, but comal was inded programmed from asm coders that know more on how 6502 worked
