39.0. "ZAP versus SPIRIT, using ALL-IN-1!!" by VANISH::KINGHORN (ian j kinghorn) Thu Oct 22 1987 13:32

      We have been using the "idle process killer" SPIRIT for some time
    now, and have experienced some problems. Most noticeable that SPIRIT
    seems to ignore processes in ALL-IN-1. Something to do with the
    message handling characteristics of ALL-IN-1, the result it does
    work to trap and handle the message.
    
      ZAP seems to offer a level of flexibility beyond that of SPIRIT.
    How could we use ZAP to handle ALL-IN-1?
    
      I guess I'm looking for comparisons ZAP versus SPIRIT, should
    I change over to using ZAP? Will it handle the ALL-IN-1 environment,
    especially the fact that some work is done in the sub-process? What
    should I look out for?
    
      I've read the V3.6 documentation, and I am impressed, answers
    to the specific questions would help me decide if this *IS* the
    product for me.
    
      All help and comments gratefully recieved
    
      Regards,

39.1Use ZAP for ALL-IN-1.37443::MZARUDZKIWay laka laka moo .....Fri Oct 23 1987 09:1810
     Hi,
    
     We in the MAA who are running ALL-IN-1 are using ZAP with no
    problems. We have modififed it to give a 30 minute idle period
    before logging out a user. Also ZAP maintainance runs once a day
    in the wee hours of the AM.
    
     Try it you'll like it.
