I'm trying to setup some semaphore drops to handle echo and netmail exporting.
I've setup two semaphore types: NETSCAN and ECHOSCAN
I have noticed that the semaphores are only dropped after exiting GED rather than after an echo or netmail message is saved. Can this
behavior be modified as I'd prefer semaphores be created after a
message is saved.
I did notice that the semaphore type 'EXPORTLIST' does get dropped
after an echo message is saved.
Golded allows configuring hot keys for running different programs or scripts.
I use Ctrl-N to send netmail and Ctrl-E to send echomail without leaving golded. There are such lines in my golded.cfg:
; repack netmail on Ctrl-N
ExternUtil 1 /path/to/setflag repack
; rescan echomail on Ctrl-E
ExternUtil 2 /path/to/setflag rescan
The setflag script creates a flag file, which initiates packing netmail or scanning message base for new echomail. And in goldkeys.cfg I have
^N ExternUtil01
^E ExternUtil02
I have noticed that the semaphores are only dropped after exiting GED rather than after an echo or netmail message is saved.
Can this behavior be modified as I'd prefer semaphores be created
after a message is saved.

But you could use EXTERNUTIL to start a script that touches the semaphores.
That way you could hit an F Key like F5 to force a scan.
