bbwin 0.9 memory.exe missing

Hello,

I just installed bbwin 0.9 from sourceforge. The windows client is
reporting to hobbit, but I
was getting this error in the application log.

Event Type:	Warning
Event Source:	BigBrotherHobbitClient
Event Category:	Agent
Event ID:	17

Description:
The agent externals generated this event message :
Failed to launch memory.exe:
The system cannot find the file specified.

So I commented out the memory.exe line in the bbwin.cfg

<externals>
	<setting name="timer" value="3m" />
	<setting name="logstimer" value="60s" />
	<! externals launch examples
	<load value="cscript mybbscript.vbs" />
	
	<!-- load value="memory.exe" />
	
	<load value="cscript wlbs.vbs" timer="15m" />
	<load value="cluster.exe" timer="90s" /> -->
</externals>

Now I am getting this error reported.
Event Type:	Warning
Event Source:	BigBrotherHobbitClient
Event Category:	Agent
Event ID:	17

Description:
The agent externals generated this event message :
No externals have been specified

Also from c:\Program Files\BBWin\Ext
There is only fsmon.vbs

Any thoughts or comments ??

You have to edit your bbwin.cfg:

Changing the externals section to

▸ quoted from Don Munyak


<externals>
 	<setting name="timer" value="3m" />
 	<setting name="logstimer" value="60s" />
 	<!-- externals launch examples
 	<load value="cscript mybbscript.vbs" />
  	<load value="memory.exe" />
  	<load value="cscript wlbs.vbs" timer="15m" />
 	<load value="cluster.exe" timer="90s" /> -->
 </externals>


will prevent the agent from loading any externals, cause all entries are
commented out...

As I re-read this now, I see that I was not clear in my question.  The
bbwin.cfg file is trying to load an agent called memory.exe, which
does not appear to exist on my system.

- Is this agent call an error?
- Is my config icorrect?
- Is the memory.exe suppose to be included with bbwin_0.9.msi, but
somehow not included in my download?
- What is the purpose of memory.exe?
- Do I need it?
- Where can I get it?

Johann...thanks for the pointer for NOT loading externals.

I had the same issue at the beginning. I commented out this section,
because I don't have any of these programs available. I think they are
optional and not part of the bbwin distribution.

The BBWin.cfg file installed by default with BBWin is an example. So,
the externals part is an example to show users how to use it.
memory.exe is a bad example because you get confused with it. Next
release, it will be direclty in comments and memory.exe will be
changed to myexternal.exe so nobody get confused with it.

You don't need memory.exe, memory status is handled by memory.dll
agent. As Johann said, just comment this part or delete the lines from
bbwin.cfg.

I hope every thing is ok now.

Regards,
