Hmm... There was an 'are you sure' prompt before the delete took
place. ;) Well, it is not deleted from the database if it still exists in
another map, so having an extra map around might do something
for you. And you could put a little app in the registration directory
that dumps the data for a node before you manually delete the
node. Or add a different app to both dump the data and delete
the node. I always set the automatic delete to a really really long
time because I can't see the sense in having a yellow spot on
the map for any period of time.

Cordially,

Has anyone had tried to automate a command/script that executes a call to
the NV database when a "Node deleted" event occurs?  We want to retrieve
info. from the NV database regarding the node in question when that
particular node gets deleted, but this info. is obviously deleted from the
database before our script actually executes, so we can not retrieve it.  Is
there any way to delay NV from deleting a device from its database, after it
has been selected and deleted from the NV maps?  Is it possible for NV to
delete from the maps, but leave the info. in the database for a period of
time - say 1 hour or some configurable amount of time?   I do not know of
any way to get around this without NV having some sort of timer before NV
makes the actual deletion in its database.
