    I cannot see where these FSX echos have been updated and I looked between last day of November and up to today.

    Regardless of that the date updated is showing as 2023/12/01 so something is wrong (bug ?) although looking at last months data that shows they are expiring
    (unless you know different).

    No Echos are auto updated, even ones on the BACKBONE area.

    Most Odd :(

    Too late now but will look on Saturday afternoon to see if I can spot the problem but they still need to be updated but give me a few days to see if I can spot the bug (or not) first as there is no immediate rush for updates.

    I have not updated them in some time, but will aim to send updates over the next 24 hours... :)

    Thank for that but I will still have to try and find out why it happened and fix it.
    Found somewhere it could be happening but do not understand why yet :(
    I may have to put in more logging data records to see if that helps.
    Elist records by creating logging records that show action during a update, warning or reporting run so will have to wait for the next instance of it
    doing the same so I can confirm it and consider removing the offending small block of code - I was trying to be clever but it might have bitten on the rear :)

    Just a note that I have made changes to the code but only next month or two will show if it is the correct fix.

    However to help research this for the next few months I have included additional text after the text Warning Cnt with Status n where n can be 0 - echo is in a normal state, 1 = Expriy warning issued and lastly which should NOT occur 2 = deleted (transferred to the backbone).

    At some point we all need to look at your message bases to see if the echos in BACKBONE network contain real traffic (i.e., not rules postings, or hello any one here etc messages). In which case I can remove the dead wood - OK echos.

    This applies more to the echo Hubs having checked with their uplink to confirm they are linked.

    From here at 2:250/1, there is a fair number of them that are empty of traffic.
