Use Window Watch
The FacetWin DT Window Watch feature allows you to specify output from the
server application to watch for. If the watched for activity occurs while the
emulator is not the foreground window, then an alarm box will be popped up to
notify you that the watch condition has occurred.
For example, suppose you are running a server-based e-mail program, such as “elm.” You probably only want to select this window when you are going to send mail
or when you receive new mail. You can use Window Watch to notify you when new
mail has arrived, allowing you to keep the e-mail window minimized when its
not in use. Whenever new mail arrives, FacetWin DT will pop-up an alarm box to
let you know that new mail has arrived.
Or perhaps you are running a report process that takes a long time to finish.
You can have FacetWin DT watch for some identifiable output that indicates
that the report has finished. After starting the report process, you can select a
different window and go on with other work. You will then be notified when
the report has finished.
To set up Window Watch, simply fill out the Watch tab of the property sheet
(see Watch Tab in the Property Sheet Reference section).
