CTRL Directory

The path to the Synchronet control (CTRL) directory defaults to a sub-directory named ctrl off of the installation directory (e.g. /sbbs/ctrl/).

Directory Contents

The Synchronet control directory contains critical configuration and data files for the operation of the software as well as some files (e.g. javascript) that allow for sysop customization of the BBS.

Purpose

The purpose of this directory is a single place for the configuration of the BBS. Although there are data files (DAB and LST) present in a running system, these are legacy and the intent is that this directory will only contain files which configure components that ship with Synchronet itself.

SBBSCTRL Environment Variable

See SBBSCTRL for more details.
