[sniffer] FIN File

2004-07-29 Thread Keith Johnson
I found a .fin file in my sniffer directory and didn't know if anyone
knew what it was and how it is produced.  It is dated several days ago.
Thanks for the aid.

It's an orphan, you can safely delete it.

KJ Thanks for the aid.

An orphaned .FIN file represents a message scan that was completed by
a server instance of Message Sniffer that was not eliminated by the
client instance. This can sometimes happen during transitions - such
as start-ups or shut-downs of the server, or very rarely under some
peak-load timing conditions.

An explanation of the job file extensions used in our cellular
peer-server technology is here:

Since the file is that old it is safe to delete it.

(In fact, if you were to delete any of these files by mistake Message
Sniffer's creatures would most likely adapt and recover without loss
of data.)

-- By the way, to find the reference above quickly, I used the search
feature on the web site on our help page and put in .FIN. The help
page is here:
