COMPONENT/ENTRY POINT
COMPONENT/ENTRY POINT COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
ZTSK
This API starts tasks to deliver mesages in local
delivery queues.  There are no input variables.

Usage:  D ZTSK^XMADGO

It looks at each of the queues to see if there are any messages in them.  If
there are, it checks to see if there's already a task running for that queue.
If there isn't, it starts up a task to deliver messages in that queue.  The
tasked routine is GO^XMTDL.

There is no need to start the background filer from here, and, in fact, usage
of this entry point is not recommended. If, for some reason, the background
filers aren't running, and they ought to be, the MailMan manager option
XMMGR-START-BACKGROUND-FILER is the correct way to start them.  (The MailMan
manager option XMMGR-STOP-BACKGROUND-FILER can be used to stop the filer.)
