TrapDispatcher 1.1
=====================================================================
Long Description:
As you probably know, TrapDoor's built-in functions for calling nodes
aren't very good, so until recently I was using one of all the ARexx
scripts that exist. But that wasn't good enough for me; I wanted to be
able to add more nodes to call when the script was already running, and
I wanted to be able to call a node until a specific time. TrapDispatcher
can do this and more!
TrapDispatcher is a program for calling nodes via TrapDoor. It has a nice,
resizable GUI and an ARexx port. You can also install external programs in
a menu.
TrapDispatcher requires a nodelist compiled with TrapList, a registered
version of TrapDoor and reqtools.library version 38 or higher by Nico
Franτois.
Changes in 1.1:
- The ARexx command CALL would return random result codes when it
was successful.
- Incomplete node numbers will now be completed using the default
node. See configuration and usage for more details.
- TrapDispatcher will now start without an configuration file
and then use the default values.
- TrapDispatcher caused Enforcerhits when there was an error
in the configuration file.
- New configuration keyword: "MaxFailed". If a call to a node
has failed more times than allowed, the call will be removed
from the list. This was added so that wrong passwords,
unreliable modems etc can't give you a high phonebill...
- You can now control the listview using the cursor keys.
- Two new switches for the ARexx command "CALL" and for the
command-line: REQ and FORCE
- REQ is now used in the ScanPoll.rexx script. If an error
occurs, a requester will appear.
- New ARexx command: GETERROR. This gets the result of the last
CALL command as a brief string describing the error. You can
find the string in the "result" variable. Make sure that you
have "options results" in your ARexx script.
- Three new useful ARexx scripts are included: CallExist.rexx,
Deliver.rexx and IntuiNode.rexx.
- Support for Zone Mail Hour added. Now TrapDispatcher will only
call non-CM nodes during ZMH. ZMH can be toggled either using
ARexx or manually using the menus.
