    I like the GTK version. Reminds me of Windows.

    Which monitor shows up on the Linux Version of Synchronet BBS:

    umonitor is text based... it will work from a local or ssh/telnet console...

    gtkmonitor is GUI based... you have to at least have

    1) a window manager running
    2) the gtk libraries available

    both on the machine gtkmonitor is running on...

    the answer to the question posed is either/both may be in a linux installation of sbbs...

    Can't speak for gtkmonitor, but just found out I could run umonitor from
    WSL2 against my windows install of synchronet. (copied ctrl/sbbs.ini to ctrl/wsl/sbbs.ini and edited the CtrlDirectory to /mnt/c/sbbs/ctrl/)

    Nifty.
