Packages with new features are available on the download page on the main website.
Features include argument to specify number of ticket receipt checks, more robust behaviour when running with -ut, and some small bug fixes. For complete details, check whatsnew.txt in the new packages.
the -v switch - is that usable when running as a service? If so, how is used then?Code:05/21/2004
- New argument -v[VALUE] allows users to specify the number
of verifications the client should perform on the status
of the local ticket receipt. Allowed range is VALUE=1-10.
This argument does NOT apply to -ut.
- New behaviour for -ut:
* When files are initially uploaded to server, client will
keep retrying if the initial upload fails for some reason.
* Once receipt is obtained, client will keep checking for
status until files are processed or ticket has expired
* Upload will only terminate when successful or when user
presses 'q' to exit
- Fixed small bug that was not properly deleting last
generation files during upload.
And what's the default value for -v ?
I've noticed that with the new client, when the -ut is used and the initial upload fails it tries again every 30 seconds. Isn't that a little too often? In the next version would it be possible to add another option to specify the retry interval with 30 seconds being the minimum?
Thanks,

How do i do the upgrade? can i simply replace the EXE or do i need to zap the whole lot and start again?
pawL.
That's what I did, I simply replaced the .exe with the new version and restarted it.

The default value is 3. You can see all the arguments and allowed values by running 'foldtrajlite -' from the command line.Quote:

It reverts to considerably longer sleep times after the default number of tries. As we want to be able to control the load on the server for times when things may become hectic (as has happened in the past :(), at the moment this sleep time cannot be modified by the users.Quote:

I'd also like to know this. Anybody? I checked the readme1st.txt in the latest distribution, but it's not covered there.Quote:
