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

<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.

Hello Don,

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?

• What is the purpose of memory.exe?

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.
