True, but I picked the example that I gave because it was simple to =
outline
:) Here are a couple of other uses:
- A new userstats that returns info like
- last login
- last client domain name (RDNS lookup)
- total amount of spam the user received today=20
- a server stats
- total logins
- startup time
- current memory usage
- etc.
- alter the startup parameters
- restart xmail to pickup changes
- etc.
Basically, the reason for the request to so that more complete remote =
manage
application can be written :) It would be great is the ctrl protocol =
could
grow so that a complete xmail environment could be managed (spam, xmail
server startup parameters, other external tools, etc). All of the ideas =
that
I have are things that cannot be done using the existing ctrl protocol.

I'm failing to see the whole point in this. The only difference between =
a
custom ctrlclnt command and a custom program that uses existing ctrlclnt
commands is one is on the server the other can be remote or on the =
server.
The sequence of actions and commands in your disable pop3 example would =
be
identacle. You still have to list all accounts in a domain, and then =
modify
each user.tab file independantly, just do it from one of the many =
ctrlclnt
modules for your favorite scripting or programming environment.

Ok, what if when the script was registered it needs to define which =3D =
files
it was going to access? Then the code could add a lock for those files =
and
=3D the release them with the process exits.

No, each file need locking when accessed. XMail implements a multiple =
