Program to Execute a Command When Requester Appears

[tygre]

Hi!

Would anyone know of a program to execute a command when a requester appears: in my case, I would like to reboot my Amiga "server" everytime IXEmul has memory loss , i.e., whenever ixnet.library displays a requester with title "ixnet.library message", I would like to execute the reboot command or a script...

I found OkayDokey but it simulate the user clicking on the gadgets, it does not allow executing a command. I wrote a script that uses OkayDokey first and, when quiting, calls reboot but it is not as nice

Thanks!

I think AssignWedge comes with source code. Shouldn't be too difficult to adapt it for your case.

I can not say how to do that but I would try ReqAttack. I guess, this tool can do the trick.

Maybe MCP its "Requester Timeout" patch can do it. At least the description does exactly what you want.

Hi all!

Thanks a lot for your suggestions!

I checked ReqAttack and MCP but they didn't do exactly what I needed so, short of modifying AssignWedge , I just wrote a simple script using OkayDokey that reboots the Amiga after the requester appears (and disappears, thanks to OkayDokey).

Echo "Warning! The server will reboot whenever there is a memory problem with IXEmul."
OkayDokey SC=Workbench WI="ixnet.library message" TI=4 ACT CX=OkayDokey QA
Echo "The server will reboot in 10 seconds..."
Wait 10
Echo "Rebooting..."
Wait 1
Reboot

Take well care!

PS. I had a funny (phony?) behaviour with OkayDokey if my Workbench was not in the background: whenever I would click on the empty background, OkayDokey would quit... causing a reboot: everything works well if the Workbench is "backdrop".

PPS. Could a gentle moderator mark this thread as [Solved] (at least for me!)
