  • Running a polling event

    From Rickv@VERT/LIVEWIRE to All on Sat Jul 5 10:05:31 2025
    Is there a way to run the binkpoll event when logged in? I've tried ;exec ;binkit -p, but that doesn't seem to work.

    Thanks

    Yes, it would be ";exec ?binkit -p"

    You could also add an external program (e..g. to Operator section) to just that.

    As the sysop, you can also run an event while logged in. Assuming the timed event is called binkpoll, you should be able to do this:

    ;EVENT BINKPOLL

    ;EVENT BINKPOLL

    That's what I was looking for, thanks.
