Hey Avon, i uploaded a zip with the two shell scripts and the template ini on
your Agency BBS. 

The scripts get the textfiles from a FTP server and post them afterwards.

Usage:
Copy both shell scripts to the Mystic BBS directory. Create the directories
"news", "old_news", "templates" and "newstemp". 

Copy the template.ini file into the templates directory and edit the file to
match your needs.

Now edit the "get_news_from_ftp.sh" and replace the URL of the FTP Server,
username and password. 

Now create an event in Mystic BBS that runs hourly and executes the
"/mystic/get_news_from_ftp.sh" to get the text files from the FTP Server.

Create another event that is type semaphore and waits for a file called
"news.txt" and runs the script "/mystic/post_news.sh".

Finished.

Now when the first task is run, the textfiles are moved from the FTP server
to the "/mystic/news" dir and the semaphore file "news.txt" is created.
Then the second event is triggered and for every text file in the news dir a
ini file is created to run mutil with it.

So, hope this helps.

Regards
Andreas
