hi is it possible to run a SKILL code in the distributed mode ie to submit the code to run in the queue so that even if i close the icfb session (CIW window) SKILL program is not killed.? thanks in advance, Fazul

    Hi Fazul,

    I'm not sure about "queuing" a SKILL program up, but you could start an external job that would keep running if the current process is exited.

    Here's an example:


    ::::::::::::::::::
    ::: slow.il :::
    ::::::::::::::::::

    printf("Starting slow SKILL job\n")
    for(i 1 100
    sleep(5)
    printf("Slept for %d seconds, iteration %d\n" i*5 i)
    )
    printf("End!\n")


    In the CIW:

    sh("dbAccess -load slow.il &") ;; <--- note the ampersand

    My example uses "dbAccess" but you could invoke another "virtuoso" here (e.g. in -nograph mode), depending on your needs, or if it is just pure core SKILL commands, then the "skill" executable would work (but it has a different invocation syntax).

    Hope this helps,

    Lawrence.
