Short: Runs a script every time you insert a disk Author: altomanipietro@pragmanet.it (Pietro Altomani) Uploader: altomanipietro@pragmanet.it (Pietro Altomani) Version: 1.8 Type: disk/misc Requires: OS 2.0+ HotStartup 1.8 (2.10.97) Pietro Altomani This program checks all removable drives (you can specify which ones) and if you insert a disk it runs the HotStartup-Sequence script which has to stay in the S directory of the just inserted disk. NOW ALSO WHEN YOU REMOVE THE DISK With it you can run programs just inserting their disks in drives,without doing anything more ! Main features: - fully configurable - sample config included - sample script included - compatible with floppy,cd and ALL other removable medias - you've got to run ONCE the program to check EVERY drive. - don't uses much memory - don't slow down the computer - totally free - an installer/config tool will be available soon,tough the install/config operations are very easy - if you want it can ask the user before running scripts - to stop it you have only to rerun it - Very simple config file: you have only to give the names of the drives to check !!! - It can work under UAE - It can checks also devices connected via a network. - Launches scripts also when you remove the disk. - Gives to the script (as argument) the name of the drive inserted/removed. - Has a DEBUG mode Improvements from version 1.6: - Can launch,before HotStartup-sequence,a script chosed by the user. - You can set the ASKCONFIRM mode not only for all drive,but also for only the drives you want. Future improvements: - More sample scripts will be added to the package. - It will go to the root of the inserted disk before running scripts. (perhaps) Many thanks to all the people who wrote me e-mails.
