   You could perhaps just set up a different event in Mystic to poll the nodes   
   you want in the shell line vs asking Mystic to poll all regardless of if   
   there is mail etc. to exchange with them or not.   
      
   I tend to do this so have an event for specific nodes   
      
   ./mis poll 3:770/1|./mis poll x:xxx/x  etc.. on the shell line   
      
   You can also run ./mis poll send so that when you export something out Mystic   
   is only going to poll nodes that it has mail for to deliver (so long as the   
   echomail node is not set to HOLD, in which case it would not poll it)
