- LIMIT.EXE v1.0: O'Brien Enterprises (c) 1991
-
- Limit is a utility the provides the ability to limit the number
- of times any program can be run on a Netware 286 network. It
- creates a semphore with the name of the application passed from
- the command line. On success, it then spawns the application.
-
- Parameters: [xx] [filename]
-
- xx == the maximum number of times the application can be used
- simultaneously.
- filename == name of application to be limited.
-
- NOTE: All drive mappings should be setup before executing limit.
-
- Currently it does not accept arguments to pass to the spawned
- application, will support in future release. The Sempahore can
- be monitored by using fconsole, checking connection information
- to see who has the semaphore open. Have not yet been able to
- 'find' the semaphore under File/Lock option of fconsole. Bug in
- fconsole??
-
- It has been tested on Advanced and SFT 2.15. Not yet tested on
- 386.
