  • Binkd client mode

    From Flavio Bessa@4:801/188 to All on Wed Nov 27 12:10:18 2024
    Hello,

    I am using the following command line to poll my uplink:

    ./binkd -P 4:80/1 binkd.cfg

    But when I do it, it polls the uplink, transfers the mail, but does not quit, I have to intervene with a Ctrl-C.

    Is there a flag so it runs only as in client mode (polls mail and quits)?

    Regards,
    Flavio

    Try ./binkd -p -P 4:80/1 binkd.cfg

    -p run client only, poll, quit

    Works like a charm! Thank you!
