- TransAmiga Checker V1.0 by Olly Koenders 12-02-98
-
-
- TA_Checker will search for each node of TransAmiga (0 - 4) every 5 seconds
- and if one is found active, will continue checking until no nodes are found.
-
- At this point TA_Checker will open a window on the frontmost screen
- informing you of its discovery, and count-down from 9 to 0. At 0 a
- soft-reboot will be performed.
-
- The reboot is deemed necessary as TransAmiga has a habit of quitting when
- an error has been encountered, and some TrapDoor utilities may still be
- initialized.
-
- If "Abort" is clicked before end of count then TA_Checker will simply quit
- completely and must be run again to resume checking. Note that due to the
- routine used a maximum of a second may elapse before TA_Checker actually
- quits.
-
- To start TA_Checker the first time, use:
-
- C:Run TA_Checker
-
- Starting with an Icon has been removed, as it seems more likely to be
- started from a script.
-
- To quit TA_Checker before quitting TransAmiga (when using automatic cron
- scripts):
-
- TA_Checker 0
-
- This will inform the first running copy of TA_Checker to quit, and since the
- node-checking routine delays 5 seconds between checks, there will be a 5
- second delay before the script/CLI resumes. You may then quit TransAmiga
- without threat of reboot.
-
- Thanks to Craig Hutchison from The Dead Letter Dept. (+61-3-9571-7194) for
- requiring this proggy and the helpful info :)
-
- Enjoy.
-
- Olly.
