Someone else has asked for this too, its an open bug http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=4345 Again, for adaptive failure, though the use case given could use a mail logger instead.

Again, some interesting use cases could be covered here, especially related to a x-platform way of dealing with apps that expect user input of some form or other. -steve -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
