Cumulus Toolbox problem

Post by RayProudfoot »

Later: Problem solved. :D

I'm using Toolbox for the i-ICCP programme but there appears to be a problem I can't resolve. I've configured it to upload dayfile.txt at 0100 each day but it didn't work this morning.

I have a message Processing is Paused at the bottom of the display. Is this causing the problem and if so how do i resolve it?

The instructions from ICCP don't explain how to overcome this and I couldn't find anything in Wiki.
Cheers,
Ray, Cheshire.

Hi Ray

Glad you solved it -- Processing should only every pause if you tick the option on the bottom right of the screen, so perhaps you did it by accident.

That option was greyed out David and reviewing the entries in the log suggested email entries are mandatory even though I don't have email configured on the netbook that runs Cumulus. But after inputting those details it made Toolbox happy and the processing paused option was unchecked.

Ray, Cheshire.

Ah right, yes, the email settings are required. Initially Toolbox was an email notification tool but it grew arms and legs and became more so I suppose there are now ocassions where you could use features that do not need email setup :oops:

No need for the embarrassed smiley. I'm sure it does many wonderful things that one day I may use. It was just the fact that for the process I wanted to implement I couldn't see the requirement for email notifications.

All's well that ends well. ;)

Ray, Cheshire.
