  • Semaphore

    From IB Joe@1:342/201 to All on Monday, February 01, 2021 11:10:20
    Does WINServer have the ability to send a semaphore ... to scan for echomail to be scanned as the message is posted? and not the way I'm currently doing it..

    Joe,

    No, but PXW can which handles that. It will do it every so often, the time can be adjusted.

    That was the way I was doing it... scanning out on the hour of every
    hour.

    Hi Joe,

    Just increase the time if you want it to scan more often.

    I use a semaphore in pxw to process a new nodelist.

    Interesting... event set by the hour not by the minute... ergo, I can only scan for outbound mail every hour... where I am right now. Looked at wcEvent as well.. same thing

    Sorry, if I made the mistake in communication ... I want to scan, not toss, mail as a user posts a message.

    It's okay... it is what it is...

    Best to do this in your logoff wcx file so that when a user logs off,
    pxmail is automatically run to scan any new outbound messages.

    I think it's scanning during the logoff process... I was just looking under the hood again....

    It's good to see you.... I thought we lost you... R U still with us or??

    Yep, still with everyone :) Moved the BBS to a VPS so things are a
    little bit faster and more stable now :) Now to just get this issue
    with wcsmtp.exe crashing and I will be all set. :)

    Well I have it running as a system service now. And considering I
    usually log into my VPS as Administrator anyway...

    Will try it again today with it running as a service and see what
    happens.

    I have my main BBS running almost 100% right now. Mystic on a Pi. I have a windows 10 32Bit running on a VM to get some of the old games running. AS I was saying... almost 100%, a few quirky things... I'm sure I'll resolve them.

    I use to hub my fidonet on an OS/2 VM with FD/2 and Fastecho/2... since I have paid millions and millions of dollars for my version of WINServer I started using it hub fidonet... CAN-O-WORMS. I was going to seek some solutions from you... BUT there were rumors you were missing... Like the slut Violet in L.O.R.D. ... gone...there one day and gone the next.

    Like Violet, your back. Great to see that.
