      MSGID: 1:229/426 E7933973       REPLY: 2:310/31 600557f9       TZUTC: -0500       On 18 Jan 21 10:33:20, Richard Menedetter said the following to Nick Andre:              RM> I have not checked how BinkD reacts to SIGTERM              As explained - Myself and others have a specific need to have BinkD shutdown       when its idle. As in, after all connections finish up. I really don't care at       the end of the day if that is accomplished with a semaphore file or other        means so long as it does things exactly in the way that was being described.              RM> NA> letting the door close gently via a dummy file rather than slamming it       RM> NA> shut with Pid.       RM>        RM> There are MANY SIGNALS!!!!!              BinkD runs excellent on this Windows system for long periods of uptime       unattended without any babysitting. If the initial request can be done, I'm        all ears. If it cannot, then life goes on. Its not the end of the world.              If I wasn't happy with it, I wouldn't be using it. Calm down, have some dip.              Nick              --- Renegade vY2Ka2        * Origin: Joey, do you like movies about gladiators? (1:229/426)    |
