I thought about doing it this way, but I have too many othernets to poll, so they won't all fit in the shell line.  In that case I have to resort to a bash script:

=== Start poll.sh ===
#!/bin/bash
export mysticbbs=/home/pi/mystic
cd /home/pi/mystic
./mis poll 1:229/426
./mis poll 21:3/100
./mis poll 618:500/1
./mis poll 25:25/0
./mis poll 3:770/1
./mis poll 2:221/6
./mis poll 21:1/10
./mis poll 80:774/1
./mis poll 77:3/1
./mis poll 954:895/1
./mis poll send
./mutil mailin.ini
=== End poll.sh ===

But then we also loose any of the efficiency of ./mis poll forced where it would poll all nodes at the same time.  Not a big deal I suppose, it's not like FTN networks need to be super high speed.  :)

I guess another "nice to have" would be to allow more than one address on ./mis poll line like:

./mis poll 1:2/3 21:1/100 3:770/1

And it would/could poll all three nodes at the same time.

Maybe you would know off the top of your head.  Deon = 21:3/100 & 77:3/1, if I poll his fsxNet node would I also get any mail from him for SciNet since I connect to him for both?
