ToolTalk User's Guide

Rejecting a Request

If you have examined the request and your application is not currently able to perform the operation but another application might be able to do so, use tt_message_reject to reject the request.

When you reject a request, the ToolTalk service attempts to find another receiver to handle it. If the ToolTalk service cannot find a handler that is currently running, it examines the disposition attribute, and either queues the message or attempts to start applications with ptypes that contain the appropriate message pattern.
