Right, if one is using SNF then this is the quickest way to use it as a service. DRGoutflow.exe does not set the x-header but relies on Declude to trigger the filter to capture messages or not scan messages on the 2nd pass.

Hi David,

Thanks for elaborating.

So in reality, it has nothing to do with Sniffer - that reference in the 
documentation/instructions is just a "for instance" of one possible method how 
one could set it up as a service, then?

Did I guess correctly, that the DRGoutflow.exe sets the "Gauntlet" X-Header 
that the filter is using?

Best Regards,
Andy

You can run the utility at the command line with no options to get a reminder of command line 
options. You can tell DRGOutflow.exe where to find message files (i=<path>), where the 
files should eventually go (o=<path>), how long to delay them (d=<minutes>)

You can start this at the command line, minimize the window, and let it run. If 
you really want not to do that then run it in a service wrapper like 
XYNTService or similar.

When you want it to stop, go into it's command line window and hit Ctrl-C 
"break" -- it will get the message and will let you know it's received the 
SIGINT (interrupt) signal. After a minute or so it will quit.

How it works:

About once per minute it does a directory scan of the messages in it's input directory. It collects 
all of the messages that have been there long enough. It looks at the modified timestamp on the 
.hdr or q*.smd files to figure this out. The messages are scanned and delivered at a 
"reasonable" pace so that DRGOutflow doesn't overload the system. It "takes it's 
time" so that the rescans can easily be interleaved with the other work on the system. 
Essentially it tries to take a whole minute to scan all of the eligible messages so that on the 
next minute it can start fresh. The more messages it has to process the faster it will do the 
work... but if it can relax then it will.
