Folks

Was messing around with my Linux scripts and created a short script to clear bad and busy polls and then poll a list of stations. I did it so that instead of having to have bom ba/b/c lines, it reads a text file and creates the necessary polls. Maybe sucking eggs here.

polls.sh

#!/bin/bash

date
cat /home/bbbs/polls.txt | while read output do
./bbbs bom b "$output" 0
./bbbs bom ba "$output" 0
./bbbs bom c "$output" +c
done

Has been working for the last week here perfectly. There maybe better and easier ways, but this is my solution.

That looks like a winner. I'm going to give that a try too.

I have been wondering about the badpolls.dat and what to do with it. Is it a good idea to simply delete it once in a while and let the mailer have another try and those nodes that were unresponsive previously?

I have not looked at that as yet, but the scripts clears the busy and bad polls anyway

Ok, was playing a bit more, and sorry to my hosts whom I may have polled excessively :) Now if mail exists for a node, it doesn't create additional crashmail. so just clears the bad and busy flags

./bbbs bom b "$output" 0
./bbbs bom ba "$output" 0

if [[ $(/home/bbbs/bbbs bom l $output|grep $output) ]]; then
echo "EchoMail - Not Adding Crashmail"
else
/home/bbbs/bbbs bom c $output +c
fi
done
