Semaphore file generator 2.0
jrlopezp has updated his popular semaphore file generator. So what’s new?
The old version of MDSemgen was developed in VB6. This new version has been completely re-designed from scratch on the .NET platform.
- Custom List of Semaphore Files
MDSemgen 2.0 allows you to define your own list of semaphore files to generate by adding or removing them from the application’s configuration file (MDSemgen.exe.config). - Custom List of Semaphore Files
MDSemgen 2.0 allows you to define your own list of semaphore files to generate by adding or removing them from the application’s configuration file (MDSemgen.exe.config). - Time-Cycle Scheduling of Semaphore Files
A new and exciting feature has been added to this version of the program that allows you to specify a time interval and a comma-delimited list of Semaphore Files you want the program to generate. - Specify Your Custom Destination Path
You can specify the destination folder where you want the semaphore files to be created. - Turn On/Off notifications and warnings
Notifications apply only when you generate a semaphore file by right-clicking on the system tray icon and selecting the semaphore file you of your choice. - Warnings are useful for debugging. They will warn you about problems like: the specified destination folder not being found or errors with the definitions of the semaphore files you specify in the application’s configuration file.
- New System Tray Icon (Semaphore)
- Link to Alt-N’s Web Site
Double-Click on the system tray icon and click on the link to Alt-N’s web site from the dialog box.

Semaphore file generator
jrlopezp has created two tools to assist with the creation of semaphore files, a system tray tool and a command line tool.
The system tray version now supports command lines options, so this is likely the best solution.
Release Notes:
[July/02/2005 - 1.3.0.0]
the program now accepts command switches for the creation of the semaphore files so now you can create schedule batch files and take advantage of thie new feature.
example: “c:\mdsemgen /a” (assuming MDsemgen.exe is located in C:\) will create an ALIAS.SEM in the APP folder.
For a list of available switches you can type “mdsemgen /?” or “mdsemgen /help”
UPDATE (2008/06/03): Version 2.0 has been released, see the update.
