====== Check Setup ======
The Synchronet Check Setup module can check your Synchronet setup (configuration and data) for common sysop omissions, mistakes, or deprecated configuration settings that may remain from an older installation. When run, the Check Setup module will report any discovered issues on the console.

After any configuration changes or updates, it is highly recommended to run the Synchronet Check Setup module. Or just run it periodically for good measure.

**Note:**\\
No changes are made to your setup by the Check Setup module. It only reports on potential issues the sysop should be aware of.

===== Invocation =====

Run the Check Setup module using [[util:JSexec]] like so:
  jsexec chksetup.js
  
==== Options ====

The available command-line options are:  

^ Option     ^ Description ^ 
| -v         | Provide verbose (detailed) output about discovered issues |

==== Errors ==== 
Examples of and solutions to some ''chksetup.js'' reported errors are listed here:

=== MsgBase Status ===

If you receive an error similar to the following
  Invoking: check_sub_cfgs
  !MsgBase: debate           max_msgs status (1000) does not match sub-board configuration: 500
  
This indicates that the "status header" of a message base header (e.g. ''[[dir:data]]/subs/*.shd'') file has become out-of-sync with your configuration (i.e. ''[[dir:ctrl]]/msgs.cnf'').  This can result in external message base utilities (e.g. [[util:smbutil]], [[util:SBBSecho]]) not performing as expected.  You can remedy this situation by running ''[[util:scfg]] -f -a'' and then exiting SCFG.
