cron jobs and LC server
Hi list I need to run a cron job every 5 minutes to process some data on a server and the job needs to stop when all data are processed. The thing is : the data will be posted only once or twice a month and it is impossible to predict when. So my idea is to set up a cron job automatically when needed and remove it when all data are processed. I found the following tutorial : http://www.thesitewizard.com/general/set-cron-job.shtml Before I make a big mistake I thought it would be wise to ask specialists on this list if it would be safe to do that from within a LC server script... The idea is : a specific LC script would be used to set up and remove the cron, which in turn would trigger another script every 5 min to process data. Thanks. jbv ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
Re: cron jobs and LC server
Hi It should be possible to that, my concern would be that for the LC script to create remove the cron scripts, it would need sufficiant privlages to do so, which is not great for security. Although there a few ways around this, it can be more trouble than its worth. It would also depend on how everything is being hosted. e.g. on shared hosting, this probably would not be possible. I would just set the cron script and leave it to every 5 minutes - it will make your life much simpler. If there is no data to process, then the script can exit and do nothing etc. Its affect on server load will be negligible.

Re: cron jobs and LC server
Hi Simon Thanks for your reply. Yes, security and server load are my main concerns. It is a dedicated server, but there are already quite a few cron jobs running on it. Therefore I thought it wasn't a good idea to add another one that would simply exit most of the time... jbv Hi It should be possible to that, my concern would be that for the LC script to create remove the cron scripts, it would need sufficiant privlages to do so, which is not great for security.

Screen updating i version 7
Hi there Im finding that the screen updating in version 7 is WAY slower than in v6.6. So slow that it is not usable.

Prevent Stack Resizing
In the property inspector you can deselect the LiveResizing option to prevent the user from being able to drag and resize a stack. But this does not stop the stack from being resized if a mac user clicks on the last button in the top left corner of the window. And the resizeStack message is sent after the stack has been resized so you can’t use it to prevent a stack from being resized.

Teaching LiveCode to Children
Good Afternoon, I emailed Heather about this and she suggested that I post this request to you. My name is Terica Lynn Swangin and I am emailing to ask for your help. My business, PediNatural®, is in the running to receive a $150K grant from the Chase Small Business Mission Main Street competiton. If we are fortunate enough to win, one of the projects we hope to develop and fund is a pilot program that will teach LiveCode to local underprivileged inner-city middle school children as an after school enrichment program. To be eligible for round 2 of the grant process we need at least 250 people to vote for us. I would really appreciate it if you could please show your support and vote. We only have 11 days left to qualify. To cast your vote, simply click the “Vote Now” Facebook button on our Mission Main Street Grant profile page. Here is the link to our voting page. https://www.missionmainstreetgrants.com/business/detail/63345 Also, if you could share this with others and ask them to vote for PediNatural® too, that would be great. PediNatural® is a well know leader in educational literacy focused products for children. We believe introducing many types of literacy at an early age will allow children to naturally master the developmental milestones that are essential to solid learning foundations. I wholeheartedly believe that teaching LiveCode to these children will creatively and effectively help them develop a new way to think and thrive. 250 votes could give us the chance to change lives and futures.

Re: RELEASE: LiveCode 6.6.4 RC1
Dave, Maybe you know this already, but I found with Xcode 6 it is now necessary to go in and set up the device simulators that you need for testing. Open Xcode, then open the Devices window from the Window menu. There might be some default ones, but you can click the + button to set up additional testing simulators. I found that once I did that, I was able to test in the simulator again. I still get an error message occasionally from LiveCode that says something about the simulator not booting properly, but if I’m patient for 20 or 30 seconds, it’ll eventually install and run the app. Hopefully that’ll help.

MergMicrophone And Exporting .caf files?
Hi All, I’ve been thinking up some nice uses for internal school apps that let younger students record audio into an iPad. It would be nice to be able to share what they record with other students and their teachers. I played around with Monte’s open source MergMicropphone example on an iPad 2 and it seems to work well for certain formats. However, it saves the sound file in Apple’s newer .caf format. It plays back easily enough on the iPad it was recorded on, but I’m wondering what my options are for sharing the audio files? Originally, I thought I would provide and easy upload of the audio file to an internal web server but I’m not sure how to convert the audio file into a format that will play in a web browser mp4 etc.? I have access to on-rev too. Maybe there is a utility that would run on the server and auto convert files uploaded to a specific folder? Not sure how I’d go about that though…? Any ideas are welcome... Thanks in Advance!

Re: MergMicrophone And Exporting .caf files?
Hi John, You can set the format you want to record in, it doesn't have to be a .caf. Here is where I set the settings for recording in an app I have if the environment is mobile then mergMicrophoneSetNumberOfChannels Stereo mergMicrophoneSetSampleRate 44100 mergMicrophoneSetAudioFormat MP4-AAC mergMicrophoneSetTargetBitRate 65536 mergMicrophoneSetAudioQuality High end if You can play with these settings, but these are the ones I've found work reliably for MP4's on iOS.
