Hi all,

I read up on how to trigger a poll of a node but I'm having trouble figuring out how to convert a node number to hex.

Can someone explain to me how to convert 46:1/100 to a value that will make Amibinkd poll that node?

Thanks,

Joacim

If you're using linux, you can use something like that:

touch $FIDO_SPOOL_DIR/outbound/$(printf "%04x" $1)$(printf %04x $2).dlo

Where $1 - net, $2 - node.
Also note that if your default zone is 1, you need to configure ountbount correctly for zone 46.

Binkd can do it for you.

To make binld poll mu node enter the following command in a second window:

binkd -nP2:280/5555 binkd.cfg

I don't know about amibinkd, but just downloaded the package
amibk902.zip which contains the following script to make a poll:

Stack 50000
cd Work:AmiBinkd/
run Work:AmiBinkd/AmiBinkd -p -PYOUR NODE Work:AmiBinkd/AmiBinkd.cfg
alias endshell endcli
alias exit endcli

Please check your inbound. ;)

I'm on a Amiga 2000 computer so that may be a bit hard to accomplish but thank you anyway. :)

Thanks. Yes I know about that one but I have Binkd running all the time so I need to trigger a pull this way since I can't run two instances of Binkd on the
same box.

I am not familair with the Amiga. My binkd runs on Windows. Also all the time. I open a second command line interdface to let another copy of binkd crate a *.dlo file and exit.

Is opening a second CLI not possible on the Amiga?

It is possible. :)

Amibinkd works almost exactly as it does on Linux, for example. What I need help with is converting 46:1/100 to hexadeciamal so I can trigger the pull from
that host. I'm supposed to create a file in the outbound directory named NNNNMMMM.ilo where NNNN is the net hex number and MMMM is the hex node number.
If I convert 461100 (I assume the colon and dash is not supposed to be part of it) I get 34 36 31 30 30.

As Michiel has already told you, binkd can do it for you. Just issue the command 'binkd -nP46:1/100 binkd.cfg' from a second CLI and it's done.

Sorry, that should be 'binkd -nP 46:1/100 binkd.cfg' (with a space). I don't
know if it works without the space...

So do it ;-)

is the hex node number. If I convert 461100 (I assume the colon and
dash is not supposed to be part of it) I get 34 36 31 30 30.

Convert 1 to hex --> 0001
Convert 100 to hex --> 64

Name of the file 00010064.

The zone number is not in the name of the file, but in the name of the directory. Convert 46 to hex --> 2E

Name of directory OUTBOUND.02E

You can do that manually, but you can also do it by typing:

binkd -nP46:1/100 binkd.cfg.

That will create an empty file named 00010064.dlo in OUTBOUND.02E

On my version of binkd it works both with and without the space.

On my version too, I just had to test. I stand corrected.
