Please add your suggestions. Implement Log File Option so messages will be logged to a file concerning user's warnings and logoffs. Improve Console Messages on Errors about Exception File parsing. Provide Command File, similar to the one used for DECserver configuration, to add, delete, list and restore the exception database file. Make Watchdog more dynamic, in the loading of timers, and exception file. So Watchdog need not be stopped and restarted to load parameters. Possibly using a timer so it may be reloading in intervals. Provide a Option to mail a message to a user if they were logged off by WATCHDOG. Some sites use a special switch to log on, when WATCHDOG logs them out, for security purposes this special switch clears the screen. Add Exception/Excludation by Image Name. Provide a method so WATCHDOG will start and stop at specific times of the day at specified times. Include days (i.e. SATURARY). ================================================================================ Note 2.2 Watchdog's Wishlist 2 of 2 WASHDC::WALRODG "no caca del toro" 3 lines 2-APR-1987 08:49 -< Numeric Base's for Arguments >- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Allow other bases when specifying numeric values.
