R and can this function be turned off?

Marck No. But then checking a file once every 10 seconds is not a
Marck particularly heavy overhead. Unless you're running from a floppy
Marck drive.

R is it a needed function?

Marck Yes.

R i don't understand the purpose of it.

Marck I hope that helps clear it up a bit for you.

yes it is much clearer now, thanks. however it's not about how much
cpu this function uses but rather it's a function in my email
client that i have no control over. to me it just doesn't feel right
that i can't make the bat! sit there idle and only do things when i
want it to do it. i know this is probably a whole new topic, but
where/how can i go about putting in a request/wish? for this function
to be an option rather than a needed function that i am clearly not
using, yet i have no choice in it checking something that doesn't exist?

thanks.

R email client that i have no control over.

Marck ... maybe, but it does no harm, takes no CPU and doesn't affect you
Marck in any other way than in the back of your mind :-).

it may do no harm but yes it does use cpu and it does start up every
ten sec's.  how much cpu and what it does is not the issue. the issue
is as i have already stated. that is the bat! is performing a useless
function every ten sec's, yet i have no control over it? that in my
eyes is an issue regardless of it being harmless or not.

R to me it just doesn't feel right that i can't make the bat! sit
R there idle and only do things when i want it to do it.

Marck ... for that kind of usage, there's no need to have it taking up
Marck valuable RAM. Just load it when you need it :-/.

that's not a solution to the problem, but thanks anyway.

R i know this is probably a whole new topic, but where/how can i go
R about putting in a request/wish?

Marck This kind of issue is handled in the beta testing area.

Marck You can subscribe to the discussion list here:
Marck [EMAIL PROTECTED]

thank you i will do that.

Marck Like I say, I think you're making too much of it. It's no overhead
Marck and does no harm. But if you want to post a wish on the
Marck Wishlist/Bugtraq, now's probably as good a time as any, with V2
Marck about to go into beta testing.

i'm making too much of it? for who? as a paying customer i think it's
ok for me to find out why my email programme is continually looking
for something that doesn't exist. i think i am being totally fair in
my requests here. it was a fair question which i think many would have
wanted to know the answer to this and why it continues.

thank you for your help.

Marek AFAIK The Bat looks every 10 seconds for a file in its directory
Marek called TheBat.IPC for external feeding of commands.


can that be explained more?  what external feeding of commands is it
looking for? should I have a file called thebat.ipc??.  and can this
function be turned off? is it a needed function? i don't understand the
purpose of it.

thanks.
