    Hi there,

    i need help to use the Advent Calendar in Synchronet (linux). https://github.com/robbiew/mg_advent

    How do you add the shell script that executes this door to the external programs menu as a door?

    i have the executable and advent.sh script in /sbbs/xtrn/advent/

    programs menu as a door?

    you go into scfg and add it in your external area you then add the command: advent -path %n
    make sure it's setup to use door32.sys
    did you build it for linux?

    I am using their precompiled executable advent-linux-amd64.
    It seems they just have updated it, so i checked the new download package. The included bash script has changed alot, to basicly just start the
    binary with your recommended -path %n parameter. Looks like it is
    working now.
    Now i just have to wait for december 1st or i get it to run with the debug-disable-date paramter ;)

    Brilliant art this year. Especially day 4. I'm just running it on dosbox
    as the zip I received didn't have a linux binary in it.
