    So I have Synchronet and FIDO setup nicely on my BBS that I have
    recently setup, however I have been asked to poll another node to test that my setup is OK.

    This request has come from my NC, however I am not sure how I can poll another node in Synchronet for just a "one off" as such?

    I've looked through the wiki and I am still unsure on how I can acheive this, so any pointers in the right direction would be much appreciated.

    I see you're on Linux, so you could do this:

    /sbbs/exec/jsexec binkit.js -l x:xxx/xxx



    ... Gone crazy, be back later, please leave message.
