In most cases, yes.

HOLY SHIT I REPOST FOR EVERY GODDAMNED LETTER TYPED! Have you ever seen that on dialup? Those are still at least 20% of your clientele. Don't make them sit so you can do a SELECT WHERE LIKE "%".$CRAP."%"

Grandpa doesn't care. He's the one with the credit card. You want otherwise? I'll write the bank-end code and make it Smarty-friendly. Some webby can make it pretty.

So set a limit on how often you ajax.update, say 3 seconds or so? And in the meantime, just fill up a nice div that says "We are searching..."

I'm having a hard time debugging a simple batch script and doing some basic admin stuff.

Hell, if it requires any caching, I'll generally offer a file, db, or SHM based cache to keep things low if you are a small system.. if not, sometimes I cheat and use a file that's global across all hosts, and there are other options like mod_auth_tkt, etc, from there. It all depends on the requirements, and requests of those who need the work done.

I started, and still do admin work (I'm sure a few will pop up here), so I know both sides of that coin. Admins should get less work; code should do what it needs to and make the life of the admin easier.

If someone wants me to use OOP in a custom class, I have no problem with it. However, if it's 10 lines including sanitation, I will suggest it not be a requisite, but I will still provide what is asked of me, even if I disagree. :thumbsup



Drop it in an email to grouch%40grouchyadmin. I'll look it over, then may ask you to give me ssh, or the primary script's code, to see what I can do. :thumbsup

Me too, trying to port a software from Linux to Windows and I'm stuck on the batch script to run it all, simple things like extracting the PID (ie: equivalent to doing ./program.sh and then echo $!) on Windows is a lot tougher than I thought it would be.

Or figuring out why a program hangs when I disconnect from Remote Desktop Connection (RDC) but works fine when I'm logged in. Simple shit that works really easily in linux but on winblows, who knows why it won't work, lol.

That's the problem. You're trying to trap exits, not crashes. :1orglaugh :1orglaugh I'll take a look, and see what I can do for you. I'm still more of a PHP/Bourne/Perl person than anything, though. :thumbsup

Half the reason it hangs is because a lot of that software grabs the windows equivalent of your "terminal", and when you disconnect, it's not "nohupped". Why is the bastard process attaching to the console, anyhow?!

Yeah, I've tried to get the equivalent of $! on linux which I'm pretty sure isn't going to happen. At this point I'm using "start 'unique identifier' programname.exe" and going to write a win32 perl script to extract the PID of unique identifier. Its really BS, but it seems like that'll work.

I'm not sure how to get around the hanging launches though. Ironically enough, its hanging on the "start programname.exe" from above. So fixes the PID problem, and creates another...

I look forward to talking to you tomorrow

I hit you up on ICQ, but did not hear a response. I'll follow up tomorrow. It shouldn't be too difficult by the sounds of it, but depending on the CMS, it may be a PITA. :thumbsup

Look at Winternals (Now owned by Microsoft), they have some fork() compatible tools that return codes. If that doesn't help, I'd be more than happy to hold your hand as we skip through Redmond. :1orglaugh :1orglaugh



You just laugh at my shitty jokes - but, hey, anything's better than nothing!

...and thank you for your support!

Its weird because the man pages (well, /? pages) says it runs in a new window unless its launched by a batch script. It doesn't say how to get it to run if its thru a batch script though, lol.
