Dear Peter, 1. and 2. If you are working with the client/server architecture of BaseX, you can adjust the default timeout of 30 seconds by assigning another number of seconds to the TIMEOUT option [1]. This can e.g. be done by editing the .basex configuration file (please find more information in the top of the referenced Wiki document). 3. There is a CACHETIMEOUT option for caching the results of jobs:eval; see [2] for more details. 4. The jobs:list-details function will also list finalized jobs with enabled 'cache' option:
<job id="job1" duration="PT1.32S" state="cached" type="QueryJob" ... By checking the @state attribute, you will see if the query is still "running", or if a "cached" result is available. Hope this helps, Christian PS: Your mail did not survive my spam check; maybe something is wrong with the mail configuration?
