Yes, it does.  Here is telnetnode.sh:
===cut here===
#/bin/sh
cd /home/bbbs
./bbbsd 4 15 telnetd:2030 httpd:8090 ftpd:60721 rawd:24555:binkp "quiet" "fork"
 "uid:bbs" &
===cut here===

The "./bbbsd 4 15" line wraps in this message.

It's not like BinkD, if that's what you mean, so it doesn't that I can
remember.

I thought I had as well... but this darn bot from Yandex kept taking it down..
They did it three times yesterday, which is why I started searching for a good
script to restart a daemon.  The script I posted is just perfect IMO. :)
Running out of available nodes was exactly the problem over here as well...

Take care,
Janis
