[RBASE-L] - RE: Managing Network Users/Connections

[Jakusz, Patricia]

Hi Alastair - The menus still work for me, even though I'm connecting and disconnecting.   I didn't know about the "set timeout " command.  We looked for that in earlier versions, and didn't realize it finally came into being.  But I think I might stick to the connecting/disconnecting because of what someone else said about users purposely staying on a form to avoid the kickout.  Thanks to all though.

Stephen Wills [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, July 29, 2003 12:33 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [RBASE-L] - Managing Network Users/Connections Is there a way to see who is/how many users are CONNECTed to an RBase database.  Fm the "old" days, wasn't there an RBADMIN.EXE or something like that?  Maybe my mind is gapping due to age or maybe dealing w/storm damage, but I can't find anything now that'll let me see this info and/or DISCONNECT a specific User_Name/ALL ...   Any help on this or related to this is greatly appreciated.   Thanks, Steve in Memphis
