I am getting these errors when running htick scan:

/usr/local/bin/htick -c /home/bbs/ftn/etc/config toss scan "/home/bbs/ftn/etc/config", line 96: unrecognized: FileFixHelp /home/bbs/husky/htick/misc/filefix.hlp
"/home/bbs/ftn/etc/config", line 99: unrecognized: FileFixNames allfix filefix htick
Please correct above error(s) first!

I copied those two commands directly from the manual but htick does not like them. With FileFixHelp, I did change the filepath, but FileFixNames was copied directly and not altered.

Removing them from the config file made htick run (although not sure it'd work without knowing what TO to scan for).

What should these config file commands really be called?

Thanks!
Mike

Mine looks like this:

robot filefix
fromname Filefix robot
robotorigin Filefix robot
helpfile /home/ubuntu/fido/etc/filefix.hlp
FileFixKillRequests yes
FileFixReportsAttr loc pvt k/s # kill filefix reports

Thanks, it seems to like this now that it is using the proper "helpfile"
and not the keyword found in the documentation. ;)
