LIMIT.EXE v1.0: O'Brien Enterprises (c) 1991
Limit is a utility the provides the ability to limit the number
of times any program can be run on a Netware 286 network. It
creates a semphore with the name of the application passed from
the command line. On success, it then spawns the application.
Parameters: [xx] [filename]
xx == the maximum number of times the application can be used
simultaneously.
filename == name of application to be limited.
NOTE: All drive mappings should be setup before executing limit.
Currently it does not accept arguments to pass to the spawned
application, will support in future release. The Sempahore can
be monitored by using fconsole, checking connection information
to see who has the semaphore open. Have not yet been able to
'find' the semaphore under File/Lock option of fconsole. Bug in
fconsole??
It has been tested on Advanced and SFT 2.15. Not yet tested on
386.
