Subj : BBSlink Door Help
To   : All

This should probably go in the WWIV Linux discussion, I wanted to try here  
first just for the idea that my question could be seen more in here.

I'm trying to set up BBSlink on my system, and have been following the  
instructions found here:  https://docs.wwivbbs.org/en/latest/chains/bbslink/

In it, the instructions advise (after adding your connection codes and such) to 
 setup the door using the following command:

A) Description  : BBSLink B) Filename     : bash -c  
"./chains/bbslink/bbslink.sh -f %1" F) Exec Mode:     STDIO

I attempt to execute the door, I briefly see 'Please wait.." and then nothing.

I don't like that I cannot see the connection attempt to his service, is there  
a way to have verbose logging local to screen so that I can trail down the  
issue?  Has anyone else had this issue before, or just simply has an idea that  
could work?

Path structure is /home/user/wwiv/chains/bbslink/   I left the path exactly as  
the example but nothing.  I even went so far as to put the entire path in the  
'B) Filename' field, and still nothing.

For all intent and purposes, the door is literally setup like the URL has it,  
the only difference is my BBS connection information that I copied and pasted  
in to be sure I didn't typo that.

Any help is certainly  appreciated.
