   Yup, you would use mutil's PostTextFiles stanza to do this.  e.g:   
      
   [=== begin postrules.ini ===]   
      
   [general]   
   PostTextFiles = true   
   logfile=mutil.log   
   logcache=true   
   loglevel=2   
   logtype = 0   
      
   [PostTextFiles]   
   totalfiles = 1   
      
   file1_name    = echorules.txt   
   file1_baseidx = 2   
   file1_from    = Sysop   
   file1_to      = All   
   file1_subj    = My subject   
   file1_addr    = 0:0/0   
   file1_delfile = false   
      
   [=== end postrules.ini ===]   
      
      
   Each time you run ./mutil postrules.ini it will post that text file to that   
   specific base ID.  You'll just setup an event in Mystic (or cron) to run   
   that as often as you'd like that text file posted.
