Thank you for providing that log output - mine is definitely very different,
with just web & FTP services
noticing the recycle and recycling.

7 nodes total, FirstNode = 1, LastNode = 7

That's good to know, I believe there's no issue with the event thread then.

Debian stretch.  SBBS is started as a service via systemd and is set to use the
 sbbs user & group in sbbs.ini
as well as in the sbbs.service systemd services unit file.  The information
from Synchro's wiki was used and
systemd runs the setcap service binding fix on
/sbbs/src/sbbs3/gcc.linux.x64.exe.release/sbbs on each run.

 > How are you initiating the recycle?

scfg seems to trigger it itself, and the same behaviour is seen when I simply
'touch ctrl/recycle'.

So, yes, just doing it again right now I get the "Recycle semaphore file
(/sbbs/ctrl/recycle) detected" log
lines from the ftp and web services only.
