|    How to setup a poll event    |
|    19 Dec 16 08:57:00    |
      Hello Tony,              > Thank you Jeff, so if I well understand you don't use the internal event of       > BBBS. So in essence you call different scripts by crontab. Do you have a        > scrip to poll your nodes?              An example script might be:              #======Start Script======       #!/bin/sh       #BBBSPERL=/usr/bin/perl              # Change to working directory       cd /home/bbbs              #Execute poll command       /home/bbbs/bbbs bom create 1:261/38 +crash              #Touch BBBS rescan semaphore file       touch /home/bbbs/work/rescan.1              #Update poll log to show poll was made (All one command, No wordwrap)       echo "1:261/38 (Janis Kracht) System Poll Successful: $(date)" >>       /home/bbbs/logs/bbbs-poll.log       #======End Script=======              More could be done here but this is a basic script to poll. I have a BBBS       semaphore file that is touched if mail/files are received as a result        of the poll.              Jeff                                   --- BBBS/Li6 v4.10 Toy-3        * Origin: The OuijaBoard - Anoka, MN (1:282/1031)    |
