Congratulations!  8-)

Simply put the semaphore file to where Argus expects it...

Do you have an option in Argus like so...

  Config-->Externals-->Flags

If so, then here's your chance.  Simply fill the grid with the location of
where JamNNTPd shoves the semaphore file, and then with what FroDo used to do. 
Easy peasy.

Cheers,
Paul.
