TransAmiga Checker V1.0 by Olly Koenders 12-02-98

TA_Checker will search for each node of TransAmiga (0 - 4) every 5
seconds and if one is found active, will continue checking until no
nodes are found.

At this point TA_Checker will open a window on the frontmost screen
informing you of its discovery, and count-down from 9 to 0.  At 0 a
soft-reboot will be performed.

The reboot is deemed necessary as TransAmiga has a habit of quitting
when an error has been encountered, and some TrapDoor utilities may
still be initialized.

If "Abort" is clicked before end of count then TA_Checker will simply
quit completely and must be run again to resume checking.  Note that
due to the routine used a maximum of a second may elapse before
TA_Checker actually quits.

To start TA_Checker the first time, use:

  C:Run TA_Checker

Starting with an Icon has been removed, as it seems more likely to be
started from a script.

To quit TA_Checker before quitting TransAmiga (when using automatic
cron scripts):

  TA_Checker 0

This will inform the first running copy of TA_Checker to quit, and
since the node-checking routine delays 5 seconds between checks,
there will be upto a 5 second delay before the script/CLI resumes.
You may then quit TransAmiga without threat of reboot.

Thanks to Craig Hutchison from The Dead Letter Deptartment.

Enjoy.
