| DESCRIPTION |
The poller schedules tasks to transmit to domains whose flags contain a 'P'.
XMPOLL can be scheduled through 'Schedule Tasks' on the Taskman menu. Set a
time for transmission such as an off-peak evening hour. The device for output
may be null, the default being the device on which the Taskman was started.
Rescheduling frequency may also be null. XMPOLL will then open the link for
transmission at the designated time.
Playing a script will also open the link. So, domains with 'P' and without
'S' flags can be transmitted by playing the script to them.
The tasks will play scripts to those domains whether or not there are messages
in the queues for those domains. The TURN command (assuming it isn't disabled
(field 1.7 of file 4.2) will "pull" any messages queued at that domain waiting
to be transmitted to this one.
One of the FLAGS (file 4.2, field 1) that can be set for a particular domain
is 'P' for poller. If FLAGS includes a 'P', the domain will be polled.
