Ok, what happens to the cut that was being imported to the specified --to-cart when rdimport is killed?

Is killall a clean method for stopping the rivendell daemons? -Daniel Family First Radio Network _______________________________________________ Rivendell-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.rivendellaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/rivendell-dev
