Does Mystic create a semaphore (or some other flag) when a new user is created? I'm asking because I need to invoke an external process after new users are created. I could just have my tool read the user.dat file after each log off but was wondering if there was a more gracefull solution.

You could use a small MPL script to do whatever you want on their first call:

Uses USER

Begin
GetThisUser

If UserLastOn = 0 Then
WriteLn('This is my first call! Press a key|PN');
End

I could probably make an ACS flag for their first call too if desired.. Maybe "OC" could return true if its their first call

I figured it out. I wasn't far off but didn't have the bytes set correctly.
