We have a folder action script in OS 9 that takes quite a long time to run.
It copies a file to multiple computers on the network doing a sort of
software release.
Recently my clumsy colleagues have been accidentally dropping files in that
folder by mistake. It got me wondering if there was any way of cancelling
the folder action script once it gets going. For that matter is there any
way of signalling the script to stop? The only thing I can come up with is
to put a file in another folder and have the script check to make sure the
file is still there after each copy. If it's not there it should take that
to mean that it should stop itself or not run in the first place.... A sort
of safety catch. Can anyone think of anything better? Less hack-ish...
