launching a proc in background?

2007-11-05T18:57:15-04:00

Registering a timer would still cause it to be executed within the same thread, causing the same blocking condition.
I have no experience using the Thread package with eggies myself, would be nice to hear if it goes all well.

Another (silly?) solution could be the use of a timer (1 seconde) to launch your proc.

as i already said i dont want to run an executable.

But i think i solved it on my own using Thread 2.6 package.

launching a proc in background?

Could usually be done quite easily..

Depending on system, this might work:

Code:

exec -- command &

A slightly more complicated approach, that also allows you to access the stdin and stdout pipes through file-handles

Code:

proc readcmd {process} { if {[gets $process data] < 0} {  if {[eof $process]} {   close $chan   return  } } {  #Process the output stored in $data, or just ignore it? }}set pid [open "| command" "RDWR"]fconfigure $pid -blocking 0 fileevent $pid -readable [list readcmd $pid]

I dont know if thats really possible, thou it all depends on what the script dose? If its something like running a progeram or an exacutable, that would probably ...i would think could easyerly be done. But other than that, i could recommend execting tclsh and running it that way? or use of a pipe or unix sock maybe?

launching a proc in background?

2007-11-03T20:31:40-04:00

hi, i wrote a proc for my eggdrop which takes some time.
while running this proc the eggdrop cant respond to other commands and sometimes i get ping timeout.

the proc has to take the long time so i dont want to change anything on it.

instead im looking for a method to call the proc from the binded proc to launch in background or in a child process.

i already tried forking but without success.

any1 here has an idea?

thx in advance.
