Re[2]: file not found thebat.ipc
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.
