Hi Chris, Would you elaborate please, as I don't fully understand. (The bit about 'kill' facility that is). Kind regards, Rod -- Rod Grover grov...@orpheusmail.co.uk

I haven't sorted the best UI yet, which is why it is not in the release version. Basically, as part of a job you could list tasks that should be killed if running (and restarted again at the end of the job). For example, if you have a job to backup your Pluto directory and data files, you could include Pluto in a kill file for that job. When it came to this job, SyncDiscs would check whether Pluto was running, and if so, issue a task close message before starting the backup. There would then be no chance of the data files changing part way through the backup, and hence the backup of Pluto ending up in an inconsistent state. This could be extended to restart Pluto once the job has completed. However, I am not sure whether such a facility would be of general interest. -- Chris Johnson

Err, umm, sorry to sound as if my initials are D R, but I'm lost: is this anything to do with the subject line? -- Jim Nagelwww.archivemag.co.uk

I am shortly to get an ARM6X working and it will need backup. I remember enormous problems with the old SuncDiscs in dealing with running applications so a sleep and re-awaken feature would be much appreciated. -- Tim Powys-Lybbe t...@powys.org for a miscellany of bygones: http://powys.org/
