  • GoldED+ create a function to create a semaphore

    From David Gonzalez@21:3/188 to All on Sun Oct 20 14:14:02 2024

    Hello everybody!

    Somebody herere told me I could create a F# key within GolDED to create a semaphore as soon as I exit the program or press the key, does anybody have way of doing it, I'm struggling big time with this.

    Thanks

    David

    I'm not sure about a function key but I have these two lines in my golded.cfg file:

    SEMAPHORE NETSCAN /home/ubuntu/fido/semaphore/mail.out
    SEMAPHORE ECHOSCAN /home/ubuntu/fido/semaphore/mail.out

    This will create the semaphore specified once I exit GoldED if I post either an echomail or netmail message.

    I found thse a bi overwhelming but I will consider your approach.

    SEMAPHORE NETSCAN /home/ubuntu/fido/semaphore/mail.out
    SEMAPHORE ECHOSCAN /home/ubuntu/fido/semaphore/mail.out

    it's also hgoing into my clipboard.

    This will create the semaphore specified once I exit GoldED if I post either an echomail or netmail message.

    Note to self:

    - FOund this on advanced.cfg rom GoldED+
    // Add these key definitions in GOLDKEYS.CFG:
    // F11 ExternUtil07 ; View a fax
    // @F11 ExternUtil08 ; View a GIF
    // #F11 ExternUtil09 ; Touch a semaphore file

    Not the command to be used but I'll try suggestions.

    Thanks

    Exactly what I did, I'm testing the goldkeys function to see if it works
