Need some help w/ exec and timeouts..

Hey everyone, I'm the author of the 'pisg-0.5.tcl' script, and I was wonderring if there is anything else I can use aside from exec, as I had someone report to me that if the log file is to large, the bot will timeout since it's generating the stats .. and when it's generating you cannot dcc the bot, etc, since it has to finish this subprocess.

I guess what I'm saying is, a way to do this in the background?

TIA.

use |open or the bgexec module

btw: better start pisg via cron

Code: Select all

bind time - "00 00 * * *" pisg_stats
bind time - "00 06 * * *" pisg_stats
bind time - "00 12 * * *" pisg_stats
bind time - "00 18 * * *" pisg_stats

What's wrong with doing it that way? (unless you didn't look at the code and are making pre-emptive suggestions :p)

Hm..
I got this when using |open:

[05:50] Tcl error [pisg_manstats]: expected integer but got "/home/soroh/pisg/pisg.cfg"

Ah, I did a bit more searching and noticed you actually started a similar thread about non IO blocking exec replacement .. what did you come up with?
