@asub Do you have any suggestions for programs that might do this?

The need would be a third party program that monitors for another program's popups and sends an email or something else I can script. My quick search yielded no results but I may not be using the correct keywords. It does look like there may be some functionality in powershell that could do the trick. If I get bored I may try to write something quick or better yet have subby fumble around with it for hours.

As it relates to VIRMST 4.x I already have the full function of submail sending to text and that works correctly (using my sub's phone carrier email to text address). In the program it's just a matter of when you can call submail in a popup. It doesn't look like you can currently trigger submail before the "Yes Mistress/Master" starting default popup. You can actually put the submail command in a popup-group and it passes 4.x's startup syntax checks but doesn't actually appear to do anything. I'm not sure of the innerworkings of Sven's code but it may just need a line or two to put in an option to use submail before a "Yes Master/Mistress" prompt.

Thanks,

@admin Thanks Sven,
I'll take a look at the circumvention recommended and am happy that you want to look into adding the feature. Hopefully it is doable and not too complicated or at the very least is one of those coding challenges that is enjoyable.

I'm really impressed with the platform you've put together and look forward to whatever other enhancements you may make in the future.

Thanks,
O

@admin Hi Sven,

You can close out this issue unless you want to do it for simplicity's sake. I figured out how to accomplish what I was trying to do. Thanks for the tip on turning off PopupMaxTime, that was the key.

Again, I'm really impressed with what you've written here. The scripting language is pretty intuitive once you have a handle on it. Here is the snippet of script I'm using to accomplish what I was trying to do.

There is probably a more compact way to do the punish portion but what I have works. One would just need to turn off PopupMaxTime and sandwich a popup messages with the top two procedures below.

[procedure-popupemail]
submail=You have a waiting popup
set!=!StartPunish,!zznow

[procedure-popuppunish]
set!=!EndPunish,!zznow
subtract!=!EndPunish,!StartPunish
set#=#Punish,#zzMinuteOf(!EndPunish)
procedure=Late For Popup Punishment

[procedure-Late For Popup Punishment]
if=#Punish>5 subtract#=#Punish,5
message=You must react faster when your {$zzMaster} calls. You are {#Punish} minutes late.
SubtractMerit=#Punish
Multiply#=#Punish,2
Punish=#Punish

[popup-Message0]
Weight=2
Procedure=popupemail
message=You are the property of your {$zzMaster}.
Procedure=popuppunish

Thanks,
O

Just a correction on the above. I misunderstood the purpose of #zzMinuteOf and switched over to: minutes#=#Punish,!EndPunish

[procedure-popuppunish]
set!=!EndPunish,!zznow
subtract!=!EndPunish,!StartPunish
minutes#=#Punish,!EndPunish
procedure=Late For Popup Punishment
