Short: Runs a script every time you insert a disk
Author: altomanipietro@pragmanet.it (Pietro Altomani)
Uploader: altomanipietro@pragmanet.it (Pietro Altomani)
Version: 1.9
Type: disk/misc
Replaces: disk/misc/Hot*tartup
Requires: OS 2.0+
HotStartup 1.8 (1.11.97) Pietro Altomani
This program checks all removable drives (you can specify which ones) and if
you insert a disk it runs the HotStartup-Sequence script which
has to stay in the S directory of the just inserted disk. NOW ALSO WHEN YOU REMOVE THE DISK
With it you can run programs just inserting their disks
in drives,without doing anything more !
Main features:
- fully configurable
- sample config included
- sample script included
- compatible with floppy,cd and ALL other removable medias
- you've got to run ONCE the program to check EVERY drive.
- don't uses much memory
- don't slow down the computer
- totally free
- an installer/config tool will be available soon,tough the install/config operations are very
easy
- if you want it can ask the user before running scripts
- to stop it you have only to rerun it
- Very simple config file: you have only to give the names of the drives to check !!!
- It can work under UAE
- It can checks also devices connected via a network.
- Launches scripts also when you remove the disk.
- Gives to the script (as argument) the name of the drive inserted/removed.
- Has a DEBUG mode
- Before HotStartup-sequence it can launch another script,choosen by the user.
Improvements from version 1.8:
- Before starting the scripts at disk insertion,it "CD"s in the root directory of the disk inserted.
Future improvements:
- More sample scripts and configs will be added to the package.
- It will recognise wildcards in the configuration script.
- AmigaGuide docs.
Many thanks to all the people who wrote me e-mails.
