<h3 id="scheduling-polls">Scheduling Polls</h3>
<p>Binkd does not have it’s own scheduler. Instead, you’ll need to set up an Event Scheduler entry or perhaps a cron job:</p>
<p>First, create a script that runs through all of your uplinks. For example:</p>
<div class="language-bash highlighter-rouge"><div class="highlight"><pre class="highlight"><code><span class="c">#!/bin/bash</span>
<span class="nv">UPLINKS</span><span class="o">=(</span><span class="s2">"21:1/100@fsxnet"</span> <span class="s2">"80:774/1@retronet"</span> <span class="s2">"10:101/0@araknet"</span><span class="o">)</span>
<span class="k">for </span>uplink <span class="k">in</span> <span class="s2">"</span><span class="k">${</span><span class="nv">UPLINKS</span><span class="p">[@]</span><span class="k">}</span><span class="s2">"</span>
<span class="k">do</span>
/usr/local/sbin/binkd <span class="nt">-p</span> <span class="nt">-P</span> <span class="nv">$uplink</span> /home/enigma/xibalba/misc/binkd_xibalba.conf
<span class="k">done</span>
</code></pre></div></div>
<p>Now, create an Event Scheduler entry in your <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">config.hjson</code>. As an example:</p>
<pre><code class="language-hjson">eventScheduler: {
events: {
pollWithBink: {
// execute the script above very 1 hours
schedule: every 1 hours
action: @execute:/path/to/poll_bink.sh
}
}
}
</code></pre>
