Setup some events in your os's cron/schedule system.

ie (Linux):

18 * * * * /home/husky/bin/binkd -p -P21:1/100 /opt/husky/etc/binkd.config
23 * * * * /home/husky/bin/binkd -p -P3:712/848 /opt/husky/etc/binkd.config
54 * * * * /home/husky/bin/binkd -p -P1:229/426 /opt/husky/etc/binkd.config
33 * * * * /home/husky/bin/binkd -p -P46:1/100 /opt/husky/etc/binkd.config
16 * * * * /home/husky/bin/binkd -p -P3:712/1321 /opt/husky/etc/binkd.config

Then in binkd.config ( 'c' on the end means crash, can also use 'i' for imediate)

node 21:1/100@fsxnet -md net1.fsxnet.nz:24556 password c
node 3:712/848@fidonet -md ftn.sysgod.org password i
node 39:39/0@amiganet -md fido.vlzn.nl password c
