[comp.sys.amiga] Cancelling Requesters

#ROBBIN@UOFMCC.BITNET (03/15/88)

The problem:

A local BBS running BBS-PC on an Amiga with a
hard drive was having some hardware problems with this drive.
When AmigaDos encounters an error writing to the disk, it
puts up a requester saying "hard error" or something like
that, as you know.  The problem is that the remote user
knows nothing of this, and the BBS just "freezes".
And the BBS is thus inactive until someone can manually
cancel the requester.

The Question:

Is it not possible to have a program running which will intercept
all such requesters and automatically cancel them?

                                  Thanks in advance
