# File-Flags

File-flags are the temporary files in Argus Home Directory. By means of file-flags, external programs or system operator can force Argus to do something. Argus periodically scans Home Directory for file-flags, and, after detection deletes the file-flag.

nodelist.ok | Compile the nodelist. Identical to Compile Nodelist item of Tool menu (Shift-F6).
exit.now | Exit Argus. Identical to Exit item of System menu (Alt+X).
password.ok | Import auxiliary password file.
dupovr.ok | Import auxiliary dial-up node overrides file.
ipovr.ok | Import auxiliary TCP/IP node overrides file.
close.linename | Close a line. E.g. if the line is named "Line4", the flag should be named "close.Line4"
open.linename | Opens a line.
close.ip | Close TCP/IP daemon.
open.ip | Open TCP/IP daemon.
active.linename | Indicates that a line is currently active i.e. opened.
active.ip | Indicates that TCP/IP daemon is currently active i.e. opened.
current.ip | Indicates that at least one TCP/IP connection is currently opened.

Please note that "close.linename" & "open.linename" flags are deleted only in case of successful open / close operation. E.g. open.line1 flag will not be deleted until the line actually opens with a valid serial port.
