   Why only one poll here? You can do more:   
      
   #!/bin/sh   
   cd /home/bbbs   
   ./bbbs bom create 2:250/1 +crash > /dev/null 2>&1 ./bbbs bom create 12:456/7   
   +crash > /dev/null 2>&1 ./bbbs bom create 123:4/5 +crash > /dev/null 2>&1   
   touch work/rescan2.bsy   
      
   > */20 * * * * /home/bbbs/poll-fido.sh   
   ...   
   > */40 * * * * /home/bbbs/poll-fido4.sh   
      
   You run first cronjob three times per hour, last one only once a hour. Is that   
   really what you want?
