- What is Detect & Execute ?
-
-
- Detect & Execute is a very simple utility that allow you to
- detect whether an application is running (that exist in the
- PID list) or dead, if the application is not found, DE will
- start it over again. There will be 2 chance given to DE to
- detect the application, where the time between the 2 detect
- can be defined in command line.
-
- Since Detect & Execute is using the native functions of
- OS/2, there won't be DOS version nor Windows version (I
- don't interested in develop it either) available. Don't
- blame me if you can't run it in DOS.
-
- This program is especially useful for use with BBS system
- to detect whether the BBS is downed or not. You can use it
- together with the ALARM (tm) from OS/2 package so DE will
- be executed, say, every hour to detect whether your BBS is
- "killed" and need to start all over.
-
- For details of additional functionality, please refer back
- to WHATSNEW.100 for further reference.
