WinGate currently registers a small range of events with the Events system that can take place round the operation of the WinGate Engine. Like other registered events, you can specify which and how each event processor will respond to them taking place from the Events panel, located at Control Panel > Events in the WinGate Management console.
This event occurs immediately before the WinGate Engine shuts down.
This event occurs when a shut down or restart of the WinGate Engine is cancelled.
This event occurs immediately after the WinGate Engine has restarted.
These WinGate events provide ideal opportunities in the operation of the WinGate Engine, for you to perform maintenance tasks such as executing a script, processing a policy, or sending an email to alert the administrator of these events taking place.
When you are using a WinGate script system (such as the Run Lua script or Run Javascript event processors) or a WinGate configuration that has access to the Symbol Browser, you can use the WinGate object registered by the WinGate Engine, to provide access to information about a WinGate installation and control the operation of the WinGate Engine.
