Is there any way to have the CUI 'take' command only take hints for a certain part of the bboard tree? When our nightly bboard purge runs, 1000's of hints get dropped into .MS.Master for our external bboard tree. The CUI daemons has to try and catch up on all these hints and thus local bboard posts don't get processed for long periods. I'd like to have a couple of CUI daemons running; one for the local bborads (only taking hints for them), and one for the external ones. I don't see a way to do it offhand. Bob

The takehints command was optimized for the multi-bboard-server case. Thus the only selectivity you can do is whether to take ALL hints or only those dropped by this bboard-server machine. Without modifying the code, you might be able to get the effect you desire by running your local & external stuff on different servers, and only taking the hints from the current machine. Beyond that, it's a simple matter of code -- see MS_TakeHints in ams/libs/ms/rawdb.c....
