Sleeping in SKILL

gsimard

Hi,

 

 I need a function that would do a sleep for X milliseconds or seconds. I need to wait for an asynchronous task to complete so I'm polling a flag regularly, but I don't want to take the whole CPU in a while loop. Any idea ?

 

 Thank you,

Guillaume

  • You can use ipcSleep(N) where N is a number of seconds (integer).


    Alternatively, if the asynchronous task is running as a background process, launched with ipcBeginProcess(), you could use the data handler argument to ipcBeginProcess() to be asynchronously triggered when the child process produces output. That way you don't have to make the virtuoso session block...

    Regards,

    Andrew.
