"Stop" button

Re: "Stop" button

This is a good idea. We are planning to try to introduce some sort of optional "pre-ping" logic into Hyena so you could tell that a given computer might not be online before you try to do something to it. Unfortunately, Hyena can't "STOP" anything at this point, as NT/2000 itself has locked up the application until it hears back from the computer. This is a very annoying feature, and why if we can attempt a fast behind-the-scenes PING first, we can tell that the computer is not there, and thereby stop from requesting the information anyway.

Hey, Kevin...how about making the Stop button STOP other tasks as well. Such as when you "accidentally" double-click on a machine that is offline, you could click the Stop button instead of waiting for the operation timeout to expire? This would be great.
