When using the below command line, all I get is
Inter-BBS Active Users: with a spinning curser under it.
Command Line ?sbbsimsg -l
If I use ?sbbsimsg with no command line, it works fine, but
has the menu at the bottom to message or list or quit.
I'm using sbbsimsg.js with a file date of 2/9/2019. I also tried
the newer one you posted with the same results. What am I missing?
For how long? The default timeout is 2.5 seconds. At least after 2.5 seconds of no responses, it should exit back to whatever called it.
Maybe you just need a longer timeout. If you pass a number (of milliseconds) after the '-l' argument, it'll use that as a timeout value. For example, 'sbbsimsg -l 5000' would give you a 5 second poll timeout.
Also confirm you have the latest load/sbbsimsg_lib.js

I tried sbbsimsg -l 5000 and sbbsimsg -l 10000, and nothing different. even with the extended time, it acts quickly like the default 2.5.

works like a charm with no arguments, but the minute I add the -l, I get nothing but the spinning curser. I'm prob missing something real stupid. sorry for the problems.

That is weird. How exactly are you trying this? I was using the ;exec sysop command myself.

The file date doesn't really tell me anything. What you need to do is use "cvs status" on the file or look at the $Id in the file and compare the revision number with what's current at cvs.synchro.net.
seemed to work fine... where/how are you trying to run it?

I tried it today using the ;EXEC sysop command, and it worked, but I had to go to 30ms to get anything. I ramped up the external logon only up to 60ms, (60000), and still no results. so the module is working, just not under a logon only external.

60000 would be 60 seconds (60000 milliseconds = 60 seconds).
Anyway, I don't have any explanation for any difference in behavior depending on when/how you run the module. It works on vert as a logon event. <shrug> Maybe try setting the "Execute on Event" to "Logon" (not "Logon, Only") and then see how it works from the external program menu.
