Yeah, I'm not sure what is experimental about it - Digital Man may be able to comment, but it does work. I dont think he actually wrote binkit (maybe Deuce wrote it) so that'll probably explain why the wiki is not so clear.

Yes on the linked node (echocfg), I specify a filebox for a node, and anything put in there goes out during the next session. You can even trigger the session with a semafore (although its a general binkp "poll all" instead of poll a specific node - but then you could call jsexec binkit -l <node> in the batch file if you wanted it to go out immediately.

(Or you can use binkd instead of binkit - as some folks do.)
