- What's new in JM 1.1?
-
- - JM now has an ARexx port supporting 18 commands. More commands are
- likely to be added in future versions of JM. Using the JM ARexx port
- you could, for example, take different conditions in another
- application's ARexx script determined by the load average on the Amiga
- or the recent idle CPU percentage.
-
- - AREXX_PORT item in .jmrc file. The ARexx port can be turned off.
-
- - Several example ARexx scripts are included.
-
- - INSTALL_DELAY item in .jmrc file. This provides a workaround for the
- problem caused by the AmigaDos "run" command not installing task names
- when the task is invoked. JM can now check for task names a brief
- period of time after the task is created, allowing tasks to be noticed
- that were not under 1.0. This should also fix a similar problem under
- WShell.
-
- - JM now gets along with program which use tc_UserData. Thanks to Chris
- Wichura for the idea on how to do this. This should fix problems some
- users were having using JM with brigecard software.
-
- - All JM commands have version strings which can be accessed with the
- AmigaDos "version" command.
-
- - Misc. bug fixes, the biggest is that the QUANTUM variable in the .jmrc
- file was not being read (but it was still settable from the JM
- command). Several other smaller bug fixes as well.
-
- - The JM server is a bit larger. This is mostly due to the ARexx port.
- It is not likely to get smaller, since I will almost certainly add
- more features to it.
-
- - Occasionally, tasks would be listed twice in the "ps" output. This
- is fixed.
-
- - If you have modified your .jmrc file, you will need to copy the new
- sections from the end of the default one to your custom one in order
- to bring it up to date. If you have not modified it, you may simply
- copy the new one over the top of the old file. You can easily detect
- which section to copy to your old file, since it is marked as:
-
- # *** LINES AFTER THIS POINT ARE NEW TO JM 1.1 *******************
-
- in the .jmrc file. There are two new keywords, and they are placed
- near the end of the file.
