How to auto-trigger the skill ipc process within Virtuoso

ashishcicskill

Hi Andrew,

I have written following skill procedure:

**********************

procedure(ipcLicenseProc()

let((cid msgHandler)
msgHandler = lambda( (cid data) printf("[BashMsg: %s]\n%s" cid data))
errHandler = lambda( (cid data) printf("[ERROR: %s]\n%s" cid data))
exitHandler = lambda( (cid status) printf("EXITED: %L \n" status))
cid = ipcBeginProcess("bash ./lic_manager_v1.bash" "" msgHandler errHandler exitHandler "ipcLicenseLog")
); let
); procedure

*******************

It calls a bash script which I have written for license management.

I can easily call this procedure in CIW as ipcLicenseProc() and everything works as expected.

I want to understand if virtuoso can auto-trigger this procedure based on some condition, I dont want to ask users to run this procedure manually.

Say I want to keep text file at central location (which will be updated time-to-time), can Virtuoso parse that file (in defined intervals) and based on some condition find in that file, it triggers the ipcLicenseProc() for the user from his active CIW session.

Regards,

Ashish Singh

    Hi Ashish,

    If I have understood your requirement correctly, you can probably use hiRegTimer() to call a function that parses the central text file and optionally runs the ipcLicenseProc code, and then schedules another hiRegTimer to occur again at some point in the future, starting the whole process again.  Take a look at Solution 11381132 for automating the scheduling of the code runs, now you only have to work out the parsing the text file piece of the puzzle.
