<H3>Introduction</H3>
|
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
|
The task manager is the daemon which controls the MBSE BBS. It watches semafore's and spawns
|
|
|
|
|
programs in the background. It also watches the outbound to see if there are
|
|
|
|
|
nodes to call.
|
|
|
|
|
The behaviour is setup in this screen.

Default are the original MBSE commands filled in, but you could also call
|
|
|
|
|
shell scripts.
|
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
|
The two IP addresses to ping need to be IP addresses, not hostnames. This is the
|
|
|
|
|
most reliable way to check the connection. You should enter the IP addresses of
|
|
|
|
|
the nameservers of your own ISP here. One of these will always be up, so if one
|
|
|
|
|
of these can be reached, the internet connection is assumed to be alive. The
|
|
|
|
|
status of the internet connection is used to decide if it is allowed (and
|
|
|
|
|
possible) to call TCP/IP nodes. Calling these nodes is not depending on ZMH
|
|
|
|
|
unless the destination is not a CM node.<br>
|
|
|
|
|
The <b>max load</b> setting decides at which system load point processing of background
|
|
|
|
|
tasks will be suspended. The default value should be allright for machines slower then 200
|
|
|
|
|
MHz or with low ram. On faster machines you may set this value higher.
