Hey Nick,

> Should they then be named differently as to not overwrite each other? Either

No. From what I can gather they are the the current updates of the stinger
w32/w64 files to remove virii from files. Given all the crap we deal with
virus-wise, it makes sense

Ok.. as soon as they come in, they go out to your uplink (I guess Ross).

If Ben isn't hatching with replace, that's a mistake, but I think he is..
I'll check my logs tomorrow.

The problem I'm seeing with your description is you aren't getting them as
they are released.. more like either Ross is timing when he sends to you or
you are timing when you pick up.  Maybe ask him to send crash as soon as
the files come in, and then you'd have to process as soon as anything came
in.. that's what I do.

Yep...

Hmm... my file processor and mail tosser runs as soon as it see anything in
the inbound..

From what I can see, sometimes STINGER gets updated more than once a day..
at least right now.

I could be wrong but I think the problem isn't the filename or the number
of times it is hatched..the problem would seem to be with your connection
with Ross.

Take care,
