I think it might be handy to have some kind of a timeout parameter on the cleanup processes (though I'm not sure how one would communicate "inactivity", touch a file whenever you're doing something). Alternatively, put something in the "main" loop (or using timed callback functions) in the sage notebook server. An idle notebook--ie one that's open but not doing any calculations could poll the server at some interval shorter than the timeout interval so that the server remains up as long as the webpage does, but not long after. - Robert --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URLs: http://sage.scipy.org/sage/ and http://modular.math.washington.edu/sage/ -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
