I logged into Vertrauen and modified new message pointers for the last 60 days. I was also missing Tech Talk message board not sure why. I added it manually to message base. I got a QWK bad file because of missing Tech Talk board. How do I import this bad file to message base?
You can rename eg. "data/VERT.qwk.deadbeef.bad" to "data/VERT.qwk", and the system should notice the .qwk file and try to import it. The .qwk file should disappear after it's been imported.
Here's my "unbad.js" script that I call via jsexec every so often when .bad files pile up in my data dir and I'm too lazy to investigate why:
directory(system.data_dir + "VERT.qwk.*.bad").forEach(function (packet) {
while(file_exists(system.data_dir + "VERT.qwk")) {
writeln("Waiting 3 seconds ...");
mswait(3000);
}
writeln("Copying " + packet + " to VERT.qwk");
file_rename(packet, system.data_dir + "VERT.qwk");
});
