Hello BinkD team,

Is it possible for BinkD to create a semaphore for each connection that has 
been established, inbound or outbound?

On this system there are often multiple simultaneous connections at once.

Rather than chasing the tail of the log, it would be nice to just poll a 
working directory to quickly establish "who is online"... maybe even 
periodically update with bytes sent/received.

There are many users of the D'Bridge mailer who I know would LOVE to see a 
somewhat "real-time" overview of the BinkD activity on their systems. I can 
easily give them this feature if I could read a semaphore or database file.

A shutdown semaphore would be nice; in that if BinkD sees a particular
semaphore, it will gracefully shutdown... rather than just being outright 
"killed" by an OS task maanger or shutdown process.

Nick
