I just use a script that runs the program that deletes residual files in the
netmail and outbound areas prior to running makenl - see below :
----
#!/bin/sh
. . . removed rem. lines
export MBSE_ROOT=/home/mbse
# kill off old *.msg and net250.nnn / region25.nnn node segments
rm -f $MBSE_ROOT/etc/makenl/outbound/region25.*
rm -f $MBSE_ROOT/etc/makenl/outbound/region30.*
rm -f $MBSE_ROOT/etc/makenl/netmail/*.*
cd $MBSE_ROOT/etc/makenl
$MBSE_ROOT/bin/makenl region.ctl >> makenl.log 2>>makenl.err
$MBSE_ROOT/bin/makenl region-kees.ctl >> makenl.log 2>>makenl.err
$MBSE_ROOT/bin/makenl region30.ctl >> makenl30.log 2>>makenl30.err
# Send for region 25 fidonet
$MBSE_ROOT/bin/mbout a f5003.n280.z2 c ./outbound/region25K.* -q
$MBSE_ROOT/bin/mbout a f854.n292.z2 c ./outbound/region25.* -q
# Send for region 30 sportnet
$MBSE_ROOT/bin/mbout a f0.n24.z24 c ./outbound/region30.* -q
exit
----
Note that the ./outbound/ section remaps to /home/mbse/etc/makenl/outbound
prior to running the script and that my system root for mailer operations is
at /home/mbse.
I am running makenl v3.4.5 but show that latest is 3.4.6 in my files area.
