General question for those sysops that are in game leagues, and using Binkit.
Does, or is there a way when files come in, that binkit can shell to process incoming league game files like BRE, FE, TAL and other interbbs games. Some mailers will shell to a batch file for this.
For now, I've worked around it, by processing files when people enter and exit the game, but I would rather do it when the packet come in.
I've read the wiki, and asked friends, but don't see anything like what I'm asking for. Does it exist, and if so, what is needed to implement it.

BinkIt triggers external processes (e.g. TickIt) by touching a semaphore file that triggers SBBS to run a timed event. See rx_callback() in binkit.js for example. I'm not sure what filename pattern you'd want to match for the incoming files of interest, but you should be able to figure that out and trigger an event with just a few additional lines of code there.

That makes more sense - I was thinking the nodelist handler process might be able to do it since it's looking at the inbound and acting on a file meeting specific criteria arriving.
