What's new in JM 1.1?
- JM now has an ARexx port supporting 18 commands. More commands are
likely to be added in future versions of JM. Using the JM ARexx port
you could, for example, take different conditions in another
application's ARexx script determined by the load average on the Amiga
or the recent idle CPU percentage.
- AREXX_PORT item in .jmrc file. The ARexx port can be turned off.
- Several example ARexx scripts are included.
- INSTALL_DELAY item in .jmrc file. This provides a workaround for the
problem caused by the AmigaDos "run" command not installing task names
when the task is invoked. JM can now check for task names a brief
period of time after the task is created, allowing tasks to be noticed
that were not under 1.0. This should also fix a similar problem under
WShell.
- JM now gets along with program which use tc_UserData. Thanks to Chris
Wichura for the idea on how to do this. This should fix problems some
users were having using JM with brigecard software.
- All JM commands have version strings which can be accessed with the
AmigaDos "version" command.
- Misc. bug fixes, the biggest is that the QUANTUM variable in the .jmrc
file was not being read (but it was still settable from the JM
command). Several other smaller bug fixes as well.
- The JM server is a bit larger. This is mostly due to the ARexx port.
It is not likely to get smaller, since I will almost certainly add
more features to it.
- Occasionally, tasks would be listed twice in the "ps" output. This
is fixed.
- If you have modified your .jmrc file, you will need to copy the new
sections from the end of the default one to your custom one in order
to bring it up to date. If you have not modified it, you may simply
copy the new one over the top of the old file. You can easily detect
which section to copy to your old file, since it is marked as:
# *** LINES AFTER THIS POINT ARE NEW TO JM 1.1 *******************
in the .jmrc file. There are two new keywords, and they are placed
near the end of the file.
