Named queues are *supposed* to be automatically deleted when the last "user" thread deletes their instance of the queue object (which *should* happen whenever the script terminates).

I first ran the multiplayer engine, then quit. It happens even if only one person runs it, but I set each script to ignore their own connection in the list so it's unnoticable.

Thenmade a test script that loops through the list_named_queues() array and logs the name, read_level, and write_level. Sometimes they
disappear, sometimes they don't. Don't know if that's of any help to
you.

Any luck duplicating those results?

I tried to reproduce your problem, but could not. I created a simple script (queue.js):

print("before:");
print(list_named_queues());
print("-");

new Queue("test");
console.pause();

print("after:");
print(list_named_queues());
print("-");

And I ran this one node, left it at the pause prompt, logged into another node and ran it again leaving the second instance also at the pause prompt. Then I hit a key on the first instance, hit a key on the second (so both scripts have now terminated) and when running it again, it shows there are no named queues. I tried letting the second script exit first and I get the same result.

Perhaps its the way in which you're executing the script (in the same scope as your command shell maybe?). I just used ";EXEC ?queue.js", which should simulate how it would execute as a door or loadable module. Or maybe you have to write to the queue before the anomoly occurs? I don't enough information currently to know. More details on how to reproduce the problem are requested! :-)
