|    The Mystery of poll.    |
|    26 Dec 16 17:32:08    |
      Hi Guys,       Merry Christmas and a question. Well There is something that screwing me up. Is       the poll I don't understand the mechanism. I have 5 different bash scripts for       each node I call each of them is:       --------------       #!/bin/sh       cd /home/bbbs       ./bbbs bom create 2:250/1 +crash > /dev/null 2>&1 touch       work/rescan2.bsy        --------------       I have a crontab like        ----------------       crontab -l       */10 * * * * /home/bbbs/mailin.sh       */12 * * * * /home/bbbs/mailout.sh       */20 * * * * /home/bbbs/poll-fido.sh       */25 * * * * /home/bbbs/poll-fido1.sh        */30 * * * * /home/bbbs/poll-fido2.sh        */35 * * * * /home/bbbs/poll-fido3.sh        */40 * * * * /home/bbbs/poll-fido4.sh       ---------------       Mailin and mailout are as per Janis examples. The problem is that only       2 nodes are called when the cron start...for example I launch       ./poll-fido.sh 2 different nodes are called ?!?!?!              What I am doing wrong?              Thanks              Tony       --- SBBSecho 3.00-Linux        * Origin: Friends BBS, London | bbs1.tonyuk.online:2424 (2:250/4)    |
