7.4.1 Task Input
The Assassin Implant monitors its input directory for new task files by polling
every five seconds. The Implant will process the first task it finds and remove it
from the input directory. Task files are typically placed in the directory during
communication with the Listening Post. However, task files placed in the input
directory via a non-Assassin mechanism will be processed like any other task.
Startup tasks are stored in the Assassin startup directory. All task files in this
directory are processed exactly once during Implant start. Task files are typically
placed in the directory by the Implant whenever it identifies a task as a startup
task. However, task files placed in the startup directory via a non-Assassin
mechanism will be processed like any other startup task.
