World: r3wp

there is a tailor.r in my folder on developer. it polls the tail 
of a file and calls a callback which each new line. uses /skip on 
file. may be a base for a daemon

I further investigated all this. Yes, the tables are used by the 
kernel (if told to do so but what I see it's mostly so by default) 
and can be changed dynamically.

Does anybody know hot to run rebol script as a background job?

I can run the script starting rebol and in console using do %script.r

but using ./rebol -qs --script script.r > output.txt & is not working:( 
rebol stops )

I added forever loop at the tail of the script so it's working now 
(as a server) but rebol stops when I exit the shell:(

background jobs are normally stopped in the shell they are run from, 
if that shell exits. I'm not sure what it takes to make a program 
run as a background job, though...

I thoght it's the nohup command but it stops anyway

I hope it's not rebol limitation

How about running it from screen?

I would like to start a server

There is no screen

starting screen as the server?

have not tried running completely in background yet.

have you tried using a shebang line at the top of the script and 
run the script directly as an executable script, rather than through 
the rebol executable?

(would make it slightly easier to manage)

http://www.jguru.com/faq/view.jsp?EID=472493<--- something about 
using SysV init here. putting the script in /etc/init.d would make 
it a daemon

does this work?
  rebol -q \!scratch.r </dev/null >/dev/null 2>/dev/null &

this little loop stays running when i close the xterm

forever[
 write/append/lines %test.txt mold now
 wait 1
]

it's running: http://195.122.214.59/~hmm/flash-chat.html

(oops, the "\!" is no special trick,  only escaping. test-file is 
"!scratch.r"..)

but now I tri to exit from shell...

...and the server is down

:(

which shell you are using?

had tested in an xterm. thought closing that acts like a logout.

and which rebol version : my is: REBOL/Core 2.5.58.4.2

which is with async

REBOL/Core 2.5.118.4.2 - no async.

that rebol works here to. also when i start it from real console 
and logout. did you try really try the redirects of stdin and stderr?

with REBOL/Core 2.5.6.10.1 on solaris I just  use a trailing &

nohup doesn't work here either...

I got it: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2003-10/msg00032.html

I start a job and than use disown -h

than i exit and the process is still working

So I can test my micro chat : http://195.122.214.59/~hmm/flash-chat.html

disown -h <pid> where <pid> is the process ID :)

nice :-) works well and fast

timestamps would be nice...

I would like to make a IRC client from it as I have in rebol/plugin: 
http://oldes.multimedia.cz/rss/builds/irc-plugin/

But the flash client is now only 3kB and it's working in any browser 
not just in IE

I would like to make a IRC client from it as I have in rebol/plugin:

Oldes you can retake rkini.r script for base your pluginised client 
...

kini is far from javaIRC client for example but It can be a good 
start

I already started 2 years ago with my irc-core-client :) I just would 
like to make it async, but don't have time now

Are you all in holidays? It's quiet ;-)

4th of July (a good time for me to do project work) but wanted to 
say thanks for the Statue of Liberty you gave us many years back.

we shoot fireworks for a day, rather than shooting each other.

Does anybody know (use!) Virtuozzo ?
It's a virtualisation server application.

I wonder if buying an hosting on this kind is a good solution to 
host Rebol CGI apps.
