To make binkd call out and then exit use this:

binkd -p -P 1:1/20 binkd.conf

Binkd has different process tree's deping on the options sent to it at 
startup. So you can have the server part
sitting in the background all the time, and then fire up the client side to 
make outgoing connections.


You send areafix/filefix requests via netmail. ie:

To: areafix@1:1/20
Subject: yoursecretpassword

+AMIGA
+GAME-DUDE
-SHITAREA
-!-



NOTE: I have changed the end of the above sample, so the messages doesn't get 
munged as it passes around the
network. You need to use three - at the end of the message...
