Hello !

Currently I'm working on writing an app for licence management, controlling amount of connections to bshell.

I've managed to solve the issue with putting my app between BW and bshell in ipc_info, it's beeing executed and from my middleware I'm invoking ntbshell.exe.
It works fine, I'm able to handle upcomming connections and allow/deny them according to my logic.

The problem I'm working now is how to send a message with notification to user about blocking the connection.

When I won't invoke ntbshell.exe I get a BW message "Connection to server lost"

Tracing network packets in situations of other BW messages ex. no ipc_boot file found the message is send as plain text to BW.

I was trying to write to output of my middleware, which reads from process child output (ntbshell) error messages, but they are not passed. It even looks like the standard input/output of ntbshell is not beeing used, as when I disable message pipes which are handling the communication between parent and child processes, it works as well.

Do you have any idea how can I send a BW message without starting an actuall bshell process, or any other way of handling communication here ?

Thanks in advance

Hello Kowalczyk,

unfortunately I can´t assist you in solving your question. But in a first place I´m interested how you created your middleware (programming language). If possible would you share your solution?
