Multiple external programs

Post by fractonimbus »

The Internet Config page in Cumulus 1.9.1 has two slots for running external programs. One is regular, the other realtime.

Is it possible to configure anything to run more external programs than the two allowed the config page? At the moment I'm having to make one wait for the regular update time (ie one regular program, one realtime). I'd like to run 2 external exe files realtime.

You could try creating a batch file which runs the two programs. I haven't tried it, but it should work.
