Can someone please help me out a bit by telling me what I need to do to make radius create a semaphore file whenever mail or
files is received from a node? I used to know how to do this, but can't figure it out again.

Thanks

Allen

In the 'Post-processors' config, you can use a DOS re-direction symbol (">") in the 'String to execute' field. For example:

Mask String to execute
---- -----------------
*.pkt *.su? *.mo? *.tu? *.we? *.th? *.fr? *.sa? >[path]\[sempahore.file]

Caveat emptor: I don't use it myself. I invented the above based on a Radius help file of some sort.

Cheers,
Paul.

Correct.

I use it all the time. 8-)

Much more info about it can be found in the Argus help file:

Why? So, you blow CPU cycles on some other task looking for the semaphore?

My Radius just fires up a toss BATch. It's over in a couple of seconds. It's been doing it that way for over a decade.

Cheers,
Paul.

In the preceeding 4-5 years, the same batch was started similarly by either BinkleyTerm/W32 or binkD/W32. Tee-di-dee-do-do-tap-tap... :)

So does my Argus.

Which is now the Tedious node's mailer? Or, the mailer on your BBS node?

Cheers,
Paul.

Yes, sorry about that. Tedious is the Argus clone that mainly have the new option of spawning a new process when seeing an EXEC_NOW.OK and then running EXEC_NOW.BAT.

I don't mind the extra CPU cycles looking for a semaphore file twice a minute -- I have millions of them wasted each second. 8-)

Ah, that's why Tedious seems a little slow. It's looking for semaphores instead of servicing binkP callers. ;)

Cheers,
Paul.

I'm running a quad core power mac... my last big purchase before I became disabled.. when I made a decent wage.
