------------------------------------------------------ Do you mean to say the "frozdel" command of the CtrlClnt shoud not be used? Or does it take care of the slog files as well?

What would be the most appropriate way of doing this? I have thought about the possibility of temporarily setting the number of send retries to zero, which I believe is in the server.tab(?). Will this work? Is there a better or more proper way?
