You may have come across me in the 80's my BBS was well known in the Elite BBS Scene and yes there are alot of BBs that have the same name and were not aware that there was another BBS out there with the same name. it was not until around 2016 that i really started playing around with Synchronet. I was more familer with Renengade , Telegard , Vision , Vision-x , Oblivion , Celerity Type BBS systems. But I love what DM has done with Synchronet over the years.

heh, that's really a pretty simple one that I use a lot (like for grabbing IP addresses from nginx logs, based on endpoints that have been hit).

It doesn't hurt that doing stuff like this is literally my job :)

Dude, come on. Differnt BBSes commonly have the same name.

I'm well aware of this.

I wasn't suggesting anybody get overly excited about it, just asking if
OP was aware of it.

I know these things exist and how piped stdio works... would generally
just write a small program or script for things like this. I'm
definitely less than efficient at unix cli tools.

heh, it looks complex, but it's pretty simple.

grep -ve "^;" nodelist.127 - prints out all lines in nodelist.127 that don't start with a semicolon (which is a comment)

| - pipes the output to the next command in line (I'll skip over this bit with the rest of the descriptions)

awk -F',' '{print $3}' - since the nodelist separates fields by a comma, -F',' sets the comma as the field separator, then prints the 3rd field from each line, which is the system name.

grep -i asylum - searches the output for anything including the string "asylum" ignoring case (-i) "TeH_aSYLuM" would match as would "asylum_bbs"
sort - sorts the data in alphabetical order, this is important because the next command does not count the number of occurances unless they are adjacent to each other.

uniq -c - counts the number of occurances of adjacent lines, outputs data with <num> <line>

sort -nr - sorts the output in numerical order with the highest numbers first (reverse from normal)

head -20 - prints only the first 20 lines (this wasn't really needed, there were 22 lines in total)

I understood it fine... my main thing is I wouldn't have known the
various options on which commands to even string that together in the
first place. I probably would have looked a bit... sometimes I combine
shell utils with pipes in or out of a custom script.
