I continue working on my mhsgateway.

https://github.com/ftoledo/mhsgateway

I found a weird problem at my mhsgate.js file. when process message files.

If I run my script with jsexec, both file_remove() and fp.remove() work
fine and the file is deleted.

But, when I run the script as Timed Event, both functions return FALSE
with error 13 (permissions denied)

Both jsexec and sbbs run as root every time.

I add fp.debug = true to see if the file was open, but no, the file is
closed before doing the remove.
I see strange is that fp.is_open returns undefined

Did this happen to someone?

Perhaps the file is still open? Or it could be permissions. I think Linux normally allows the deletion of an open file.

Both jsexec and sbbs run as root every time.

It shouldn't. BinkIt is an example of a timed event that is able to remove files, no problem. There are many others.
