There's nothing there for Mux. Could that be it?
No. All of the switches seem to have a default value (the final one) for MUs not listed, which would include TinyMUX.
(Thank you. I'd have wasted time trying and failing to fix that.)
The easiest way to install aJobs on a Mux is to install the SGP flatfile. SGP is a good-enough starting package and it comes with BB, aJobs, and MyrdCron installed.

I really do not think it does. When I did my ChimeMUX, I used the SGP flatfile, and I still had to install aJobs.
I don't recall it coming with ajobs either.
@skew
It comes with an Ajob-alike system, but it's not Ajobs specifically.
Well that is kind of a surprise. Also kind of too bad. I'm not a fan of the system, but it seems just as a requirement as bboards.

No?
Can you show me what you're talking about? SGP comes with like 9 objects on it and nothing more. Will be happily proved wrong.
@skew I think they might mean the +request thing with SGP. It's been little awhile so I don't remember exactly what it did, but I think it was more of a 'reminders' style system than jobs.
Might be thinking of MUXcore, instead of SGP.
@skew
I'd have to load up SGP in some way, but the last time I had pulled SGP up to use, there was a lot of code already in, and there was an Ajobs-like system, with code, TPs, etc. buckets. I didn't really mess around with it extensively, I just recall it being there and mapping to a lot of how AJobs looked and seemed to function. But it has been a while since I looked at it. It was part of the PennMUSH SGP minimal DB.
@Bobotron Yeeeeah. We're in TinyMUX here 
@skew
shrug I would have expected a code suite to be the same, more or less, across the board. Apparently not.

And now you can sit and ponder why anyone still uses TinyMUX 
oh it hurts 
@skew Arrrghh...
Well, I abandoned ship and fled to PennMUSH. Installed perfectly the very first attempt. Note to self: Listen the first time.
That's unfair. If Penn changed the original SGP -- written for TinyMUSH and migrated straight to TinyMUX -- you can't blame the foundation for it.
Maybe because I'm used to using the ChimeMUX fork, that I thought aJobs was part of the base.
TinyMUX has problems, but "SGP isn't consistent" is not one of them. You might as well blame it for having a different columns() than Rhost.
(edit: link to Chime's frankly amazing fork.)

@Thenomain The "oh it hurts" was because I know exactly why people use TinyMUX.
I do lament that no one ever put together a good base package to start from.

You mean like MUXcore?
He/Him
@Tinuviel I've literally never seen this before today. After installed MUX a few times now. What the heck! Where were you ages ago??? Why did not one tell me about this?!?!
I dunno, MUXcore is pretty old now. That didn't stop me from porting it to Rhost, but I can't see myself using it as the starter db for a new game, either.
