Yes I do...

Mine is a bit odd, I suppose. Binkd runs on linux and fmail and some other
fido utils run on a virtual WinXP on the same machine.

I use 'exec' in the binkd config to run a script that backups every incoming file.

exec "/home/fido/bin/cp2bck.sh *F" *

This script also updates a log file. The change of the log file is detected
on the WinXP side to start my toss batch file...

But I also run my toss batch file from my editor startup script, and from
an hourly maintenance batch file. As a redundancy measure I suppose...

Wilfred.
