ukengb member Registered: 30/04/2003 Posts: 136 Loc: United Kingdom	Can someone point to me to a definition of the difference between hijack's @EXEC and @EXEC_ONCE config.ini options? I just cannot find anything that actually explains the difference, so a pointer would really help. Thanks.

(I think that's right.) I can't find an immediate definitive link. It seems that the Hijack FAQ is less than up-to-date. Edit: Here you go.

When the empeg 'sleeps', is the player app still running or has it been terminated and it only starts again when you wake up the empeg? I just answered that - it's still running. I have 14 player processes - is that right, how come so many? Under what circumstances would the player app be stopped?

I'm not sure if the player app stops at any point during a synchronization operation, or if the player just receives a reboot command... _________________________ Tony Fabris
