Folks

Was messing around with my Linux scripts and created a short script to clear bad and busy polls and then poll a list of stations. I did it so that instead of having to have bom ba/b/c lines, it reads a text file and creates the necessary polls. Maybe sucking eggs here.

polls.sh

#!/bin/bash

date
cat /home/bbbs/polls.txt |  while read output do
   ./bbbs bom b "$output" 0
   ./bbbs bom ba "$output" 0
   ./bbbs bom c "$output" +c
done

poll.txt

Has been working for the last week here perfectly. There maybe better and easier ways, but this is my solution.
