How to use the Reservation Check Queue service
==============================================

Task

1.) The service checks the reservation table for new nr. 1 positions in the
    queue. If a user becomes new nr. 1 in a queue, he will be informed by mail
    automatically.

2.) The service checks the pop3 account for new reservation confirmation mails.
    A user has to send back a reservation confirmation mail, once he has become new
    nr. 1.

    THIS WORKS ONLY IF YOU USE CHILKAT MAIL, BUT NOT WITH CDONTS!

3.) A reservation is confirmed when a confirmation mail is detected in the pop3
    account as configured in the program settings.

    THIS WORKS ONLY IF YOU USE CHILKAT MAIL, BUT NOT WITH CDONTS!

Setup

Use the windows scheduler or the windows at batch command in order to start the
reservation_check_queue.bat file periodically. reservation_check_queue.bat executes
all commands as written in reservation_check_queue.asp.

You can also start reservation_check_queue.bat manually by double-clicking it. Check
the results in Session.html and in ..\Session.html. If the service finds a reservation
confirmation mail in the pop3 account, the log entry is as (an example):


Session: 852735018 used at 18/03/2003 00:30:02 -> System got reservation mail confirmation for:
