SANDRO NOEL  It's regretfull that you have a bad experience with BM.

I have not had the time to bring up a help file, or setup a site for BM until now

because I've been busy implementing new features in the software.

But it is being designed. and will show up at some point in the future.

As far as support goes I have always payed close attention to my users request.

if you would of tried to send an email instead of jumping the guns, and complaining like a school girl you probably would of gotten a reply within the hour.

BM Detects bonjour broadcasting servers only.

if your FTP server is not bonjour enabled, BM will not detect it's presence.

now will it do it for SMB servers that are not bonjour enabled.

thus the name "bonjour mounter"

----------------

If the software was a scam like you say, do you really think I would waste my time

begging for 10$ donations? PLEASE. I have better things to do.

I would charge 50$ for it and have you use the software only after you payed me, without a trail, or a preview like most software vendors do.

Donations are a way for people who enjoy the software to show the developer appreciation for it's work that is all, and honestly, I've gotten quite a bit of donations, to my greatest amazement.

PLEASE PLEASE by all means, if you do not like the software DELETE IT and move on.

I really do not care for your personal petty cash.

I will not be insulted by being called a fraud.

SANDRO NOEL  Bonjour Mounter does have code to deal with disappearing servers,

but it seems it does not receive notification when the computer goes to sleep.

I'm looking into it.

JEFF_ROWE  Thanks for the 2.0.3 update! It now works fine and detects when disks wake from sleep mode.  
(Version 2.0.3)

JEFF_ROWE  Hello Sandro,

Upon further testing, it appears there is still a problem with BM203 detecting server wake up.

BM203 detects server wake up in my case the first day-e.g. when BM has been started some time during the day, and the remote server wakes up the following morning. However, the next morning, BM does not detect the remote serve wake up. I just started the remote server and BM still did not detect it. It’s like BM is not active even though it appears in the menu bar and the mounter window is open. The console log shows activity the first day BM detects, but nothing after that. Let me know if you need further info.

Thanks

Jeff  
(Version 2.0.3)

SANDRO NOEL  It would be nice if you could send me the logs

for the first day and the second day.

please.  
(Version 2.0.3)

JEFF_ROWE  Sandro,

I will be collecting logs during next few days.

(Version 2.0.3)

JEFF_ROWE  Sandro,

Here is a console log I just took. This is not the case of BM not detecting when the Cube wakes-but maybe they both have the same solution. In this case, I am using the Finder to manually connect and disconnect to my Cube with my Backup HD. Each time I connect, BM is not automatically mounting the Backup HD.

I still must manually click the Backup HD (after selecting the Cube under SHARED) in the finder window to activate it.

Let me know if you need further information or logs.

Regards,

Jeff

SANDRO NOEL  Jeff

you see the disk appeared and disappeared notification in the logs ? that's bonjour mounter telling you it noticed that the drive was mounted/unmounted outside of it's interface

it is possible that in the sharepoint list the status did not get updated properly, i will look into it.

what i would like you to try is to stop the sharing on the cube, and hen start it up again and see if BM notices it and tries to remount it.

send me the logs about it... please

Then try putting the cube to sleep, and waking it up again see if BM tries to mount it's shares when it comes back up.

send me the logs please...

you might not notice any change if you look at the mounted volumes in finder because Leopard keeps them on the desktop for a while even if the server has gone to sleep.

when the services is shutdown you will get a notification from the finder that the service has disconnected you, short after BM will try to unmount the shares with no success because the finder already did just that, but it it will reset it's status to offline.

at least this is what happens on all my 5 machines.

let me know how it goes on yours.

gratefully thank you !

Sandro.  
(Version 2.0.3)

JEFF_ROWE  Sandro,

Here's the log file for the first case you requested: I turned off personal file sharing on the Cube, BM detected that and dismounted the Backup HD. Restarted PFS and BM did notice and

remounted.

Second case will follow shortly.

JEFF_ROWE  Sandro,

Here's the second case you requested: I put the Cube to sleep, BM dismounted BackHD. I waited about 5min until Leopard disconnected from the Cube, woke the Cube and BM did

remount the BackupHD. I will now wait until tomorrow morning when both machines wake

(cube at 0545, mini at 0600). That is when BM seems to be stalled and not notice the Cube

waking (maybe OK the first time after starting BM, but second day it fails). Will post logs to you tomorrow. Thanks for you help.

SANDRO NOEL  Jeff, you are the one helping me right now, so I'm the one thanking you.

it is very appreciated!!!  
(Version 2.0.3)

JEFF_ROWE  Sandro,

No change in the console log from yesterday while I was away. The Mini has been in sleep mode until this morning (Friday ). I just woke the cube this morning and BM is still not responding on my Mini I plan to have the Mini wake before the Cube tomorrow morning to see if that makes a difference.

jeff

================  
(Version 2.0.3)

SANDRO NOEL  No event in the console log at all or the sequence of events is still the same?

there should at least be some bonjour notifications in the logs.

If there is no notifications in the logs, there can be only 2 problems

1: BM froze up... never saw it do that but hey... it's possible.

2: something in your system is not reacting as it's supposed to.

Question : do you see the cube show up after your mini wakes from sleep?

to see this for real you would need to:

1: put the cube to sleep, and then wait for the cube to disappear from the mini's finder,

2: and then put the mini to sleep.

3: wake the cube, wait a bit for the first notifications to pass like 15 minutes.

4: wake the mini.

One thing you should not forget is that the bonjour protocol is constructed in a way that at first it will advertise itself often, but as time passes, it will wait longer and longer before sending a new advertise, to avoid unnecessary network traffic. So if the cube has been up for a long while before the mini comes up, it "might" be possible that it can take a while before the mini receives notifications from the cube.

as i remember the computer is supposed to ask the network who's around when it starts up, but I'm not totally sure if this happens when it wakes or just when the system is started.

Thank you very much for your help Jeff, it's really appreciated.  
(Version 2.0.3)

JEFF_ROWE  Sandro,

sorry I did not report back lately, we had two power outages, so the computers had to restart.

Anyway, I now have the Mini and BM waking at 0530, the Cube at 0545. Did not make any difference after the first day (15/2/09), BM still not responding to the Cube wake up. I just manually woke the Cube and BM failed again. Here’s the log file from 15/2/09.

(Note there is a network error reported on 16/2 at 0530?? Maybe that is a problem?)
