Greetings: I would like to devise a method that would send an e-mail when my database reload routine fails such that R:BASE hangs.
I have a program that performs an UNLOAD ALL and then rebuilds a fresh version of the database. This works flawlessly 99.99% of the time. The program sends me an initial e-mail that notifies me that the database is being rebuilt and that it will be unavailable for a period of time. When the program completes, it sends a follow-up e-mail notifying me that the rebuild process is complete. An AUTOCHK is performed to alert me if an error is found in the rebuilt database. I would like to devise a more robust way that would send an e-mail if the rebuild process hangs and R:BASE is locked up. I could generate and send a text message to my cell phone from R:MAIL to notify me. I considered an ON ERROR approach but if R:BASE hangs I don't think that would capture the event so that an e-mail could be generated. I also thought about a separate program that would act as a timer so that if the process is not complete within a certain time frame a warning message could be sent. Preferably the entire UNLOAD/rebuild process could be self-contained. I seem to recall that there used to be a SPAWN command in early versions of R:BASE that allowed for the launching of an entirely separate process from the main process. Any suggestions, guidance or recommendations would be most graciously appreciated. Best regards.
