Hello all, as a new KA9Q user, I'm a bit miffed at the lack of any
decent docs for it, some of the commands are a total mystery to me! One
thing I'd like to be able to do is to set up KA9Q to run unattended, but
the only way I can find of getting it to log off is to allow it to
timeout due to no tcp/ip data being transferred, but there's a message
somewhere in the docs that this is not to be relied upon!

Are there any other ways? I'd like it to quit once mail and news have
been uploaded/downloaded, but nothing seems to work.. Testing for the
presence of the finished batches might work as it seems to hold them in
a temp area, and move them to another area when the download has
finished, any comments anyone? Anyone solved this, or do I have to save
up for ANT's suite?

Also, are there any plans for any COMMAND LINE suites, either commercial
or PD, so that I can run ftp from the * prompt?

Ian
