Subject: [fpc-pascal] Solution for Timer in daemon
Hi,
I'm reading that I can't use timer in daemon because daemon core is based on
thread. So I'm trying to create another thread which simulate timer. My
interval is quite big (~1-5 minutes), so I can't just use sleep(60000) because
daemon will hung on terminate. So I have two ideas:
1. Create loop with short sleep(1000) which on each loop check if main interval
occur and check if daemon is terminated
2. Create loop with RTL event with RtlEventWaitFor(Event, 60000) and daemon on
terminate just send event to worker so it immediately exit.
What is the best efficient solution? Maybe exists another way?
Regards.
Well, as far as I know, sleep is no thread safe, it will block your app.
Sleep only blocks the current thread.
Regards,
Sven
