I did my usual every couple of months download of sbbs_dev.zip and sbbs_run.zip and copied over my exec and xtrn directories. I usually need to do a couple of tweaks here and there, and it's been painless the last times I've done this.

When was the last time you did this?

Probably January? Not too long ago.

Yes, using the node utility (e.g. exec/node.exe), you can set any node
to any state. But you shouldn't have to if your terminal server's "lastnode" setting is set to node 6.

That did it -- in SCFG under system, it was set to 4 nodes, not 6. Not
sure what I did. Nodes 5 and 6 reset when the system recycled.

It sounds like maybe you upgrade from v3.19 to v3.20 but didn't run 'jsexec update' as part of that process. --

I was definitely on 3.20 before.

I got cocky, usually I snapshot the VM or at least copy the directories
I'm overwriting elsewhere first. Live and Learn.

Maybe your ctrl/sbbs.ini file was over-written? That's where the terminal server's "LastNode" value is stored.

you should always run a simple backup before making changes.
furthermore, doesn't hurt to have a weekly and monthly backup that runs automated and stores someplace else.
