I had a look at that page on the wiki and got logonlist set up. One thing I noticed is that the wiki page says to set up maintenance (?logonlist -m) in both the Daily Event and a "System Timed Event". Does it need to only be run once daily? When I run ?logonlist -l, it says I'm the first caller of the day, even though my BBS has had callers. When I run ?logonlist -y, it displays yesterday's callers as expected.

I have ?logonlist -m set up as the Daily Event, but I was wondering if it needs to be run periodically as a System Timed Event? But even after running ?logonlist -m now, when I use the -l option, it still says I'm the first caller of the day and it doesn't display the day's callers.

Ah, thanks, typo on my part. "logonlist install" does do the right thing though and adds "?logonlist -m" as the system's daily event.

Does it need to only be run once daily?

Yes.

When I run ?logonlist -l, it says I'm the first caller of
the day, even though my BBS has had callers. When I run ?logonlist -y, it displays yesterday's callers as expected.

I expect that you ran the maintenance recently then. It needs to close to midnight which it does when set as the System Daily Event.

I have ?logonlist -m set up as the Daily Event, but I was wondering if it needs to be run periodically as a System Timed Event?

No, just daily.

But even after
running ?logonlist -m now, when I use the -l option, it still says I'm the first caller of the day and it doesn't display the day's callers.

Right, I'm guessing because you rolled-over the data/logon.jsonl file (to logon.0.jsonl) prematurely. So long as the maintenace runs close to midnight, which it will as a daily event, it'll work as expected.

I'm curious why the Daily Event option was added? I'd think the logonlist maintenance could be set up as a Timed Event to run at (or near) midnight every day. Also, since the Daily Event is configurable, I'd think that could be configured to run something else other than the logonlist maintenance..

It's actually always been there.

I'd think the logonlist
maintenance could be set up as a Timed Event to run at (or near) midnight every day.

I suppose, but then it'd have to run in the event thread, which is optional (can be disabled) and can also be delayed while other timed events are running. The System Daily Event cannot be disabled and runs in the node's thread (the first node thread to be created in a new day) if the event thread isn't running. So it's more dependable than a timed event. You could try it as a timed event and let me know how it works out?

One downside I see with using the system daily event is that the first user of a new day will be included in the previous-day's logonlist. So... that could be a problem.

Also, since the Daily Event is configurable, I'd think that
could be configured to run something else other than the logonlist maintenance..

Yeah, but I don't think anybody is/was using it for anything. Ideally, the sytem daily event would be a list of events to run instead of just a single. I used to use a batch file that did a bunch of things, but those have been replaced with timed events.

I might give it a try..

I still have a batch file that runs all of my daily maintenance stuff. I thought it would be simpler to have my daily maintenance as one (timed) event rather than making it a bunch of different events.

Yup, that's still a practical solution. Batch files are of course, platform (Windows) specific, and Synchronet being cross-platform and Vertrauen being a multi-platform system, I try to avoid using platform-specific solutions as much as possible.

Much of my daily maintenance stuff is running maintenance on DOS doors & things anyway, so having a batch file to do it right now doesn't really bother me a whole lot. If I moved my BBS to Linux (which I've been considering), I'd have to re-do that a bit.
