Re: Hamster with PHP 4.3 /Apache 2.0

Dave,

Thanks for that info. Led me right to where I wanted to get!

I have another poser for the group, I'm learning the scripting 
language used in Hamster, for basic tasks. I've written the below 
script which is run when the Outbox is used (SMTP). Basically, it 
waits 30s, exchanges email, then for the next 12 mins does an 
exchange again every minute. This works fine if a user sends one 
email, but if a user sends multiple emails, I get multiple scripts 
running.

I'd like to modify it so that if the script is already running, then 
it should exit immediatly.  I tried to do this with the 
surrounding "if(HamIsIdle)" if statement, but it appears that when a 
script is in a "sleep" cycle, that it doesn't get counted on the 
active job list.


# 30selv2 script
# Wait 30s then execute a send mail (60000 = 1 min)
if (HamIsIdle)

var ($i)
$i=1*30000
#$i=1*1000
print( "30s delay script started...")
sleep($i)

$i=0

    while ($i < 12)
       $i=$i+1
    if (HamIsIdle)
       print( "30s delay script Fetching Mail...")
       HamMailExchange
    endif
    sleep 60000
    endwhile
else
    print( "30s delay script not running... hamster busy")
endif
quit


Thanks,

s.
