Subject: Problem with K95 Alarm Problem
Date: 9 Mar 1999 07:44:34 -0800
Organization: Fluke Corporation, Everett, WA
Message-ID: <7c3fl2$oq2$[e-mail]>
To: [e-mail]

I would like to use K95 kermit on NT to log some info to a file and
periodically rollover the log file every night.  I put together a script
that opens a session log, sets an alarm for 00:05:00 and then loops,
waiting for input.  The script is shown below.

My problem is that the alarm never seems to trigger.  I've tried
changing the alarm time to something an hour or so ahead of when I start
the script and that works OK.  However, I have not been able to get the
alarm to trigger with the 00:05:00 setting.

I am running version 1.1.17 of K95.  I notice that there is a bug fix in
an earlier version of K95 for alarm problems at midnight, but that fix
should be in the version I'm using.

Any ideas why this isn't working?
