Also, is there a way to monitor node usage and restart the bbbsd daemon if and
when BBBS runs out of available nodes. Currently either rebooting the PC or
killing and reloading bbbsd is the only way I can quickly get back my availabl
nodes.

I know I am responding to an old message, but what I would recommend is setting up a crontab entry for the user that runs the BBS so that it shuts down and starts the bbbsd process on a regular schedule. But then again, I am having an issue with my bsmtp send crontab apparently not being called and working like it should, sadly :(
