- 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 upto 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 Deptartment.
- (+61-3-9571-7194) for requiring this proggy and the helpful info :)
-
- Enjoy.
-
- Olly.
