beside root post/preexec we also use message (i forgot):

  message command = x=`cat %s`;callci TELLOP OPC-NORMALWinPopup from %f:
$x;rm %s

and this works! The OPC-NORMAL can be ignored: this is used for a specific
handling in IT/O
(to set automatically the NORMAL priority).

Subject:  Samba/iX: preexec, postexec, message command




Hi all!
Is anybody using the preexec/postexec/message command entries
in his smb.conf file successfully? If running under inted, Samba
seems to ignore all of the three parameters. At least the preexec and
postexec parameters are executed, if Samba runs in a monitor job.
The message command is ignored in either case. Anyone got any ideas
on what could be the cause for this? I'm using Samba 0.7c on a
5.5 system.
Thanks for your help.
Andreas
