    RR> Is there a way to get BBBS to poll a binkp node at regular intervals?   
      
   For polling a system on time based BBBS used the internal events.   
      
   For you problem about you unpacking take a look on filegate there is a sample   
   of the mailrun.bbb if i dont mistake if you are using window version i dont   
   know about Linux.
