But I was a little bored today and implemented alerts for any shutdown-variant. It works good. From taskmanager it's optional at compile-time. Now it would be possible to ask when SDMASTER is not set or not found. And it's not bad to have some possibility to interact from XaAES generally. I suggest I commit the stuff 'till weekend, and you do your patch again ;) -Helmut ------MIME delimiter for sendEmail-19738.9678369326--
