Re: {bb} questions about Paging and frequency

[Dave Richards <drichard@plus.net.uk>]

Hi,
all of the below is what I have setup,
The problem I'm having is that the np_* files are not being deleted once
the event has been cleared to none purple or red,
Ie, Changed to Green or Yellow,

Any idea how I can get it to clear the np_* files once the event has
changed back to working ?


Regards
Dave Richards
