I could maybe use cron to start it every 1 minute (but then I would need to find a way to NOT start it if it is already running but has not finished yet). Most executions would find that there is nothing to do since the time for the next measurement has not arrived. Or else I would have to have it running 24/7 (as a windows service does) but be idle most of the time until a time trigger is detected at which time it will run a measurement. Such a measurement may run for several minutes before it finishes. Meanwhile nothing else can be done towards the instrument. -- Bo Berglund Developer in Sweden -- _______________________________________________ Lazarus mailing list [email protected] http://lists.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus
