  • A46 discussion: CHATx.DAT

    From g00r00@21:1/108 to All on Mon Feb 17 22:30:24 2020
    I am planning on adding a "Process ID" as a field in CHATx.DAT data file which should be insigifnicant to almost everyone. But I wanted to mention it here so people are aware of the potential change.

    A few scripts or third party utilities may be reading the file. As of right now I have no plans to change anything else and since its a file that contains a single record it may not even bother existing code that reads it.

    Just on this. I noticed some reports of errors appearing the the logging of some nodes and also saw this at Agency when looking at logs prior to updating to the latest build.

    These are very intersting. Can you tell me what version of Windows you use (not specific but like XP, 7, Vista, 10, etc)

    I'm very tired and I can't think through this right at the moment but I recently added this logging for a reason. I think this log should never be able to happen and obviously it has!
