My first thought...... I'm going to keep it to myself so as not to offend you or your friend.

LMS shouldn't be checking for network connections, IMHO. It is a server process. If it is pre-configured to scan at a specific time, far better that you make sure that an external drive is powered and available, or that the network is connected and the external share is available. I need to think about this some more. Maybe an enhancement to LMS could be that, it checks for the presence of a "DO_NOT_SCAN" file, in the root of any folders it is configured to scan, if present, abort the scan. Then you create that file on the underlying file system, that your external drive/share is going to be mounted to. If the drive/share is mounted LMS won't see the file, if it isn't, LMS will. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JackOfAll's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3069 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=99395 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
