Been using LC scripts on the server for "like 20 years."
But run on the cron of the server itself.

Thanks Andre - good call.
Following others’ reminders of the single-threaded nature of LCS, I’m trying to
rethink data flows as on-demand, to avoid all background tasks.

Keith,
The examples in the dictionary look potentially useful for a couple of
lightweight activities I’d like to have ticking-over in the background on my LC
Server, pending page visits.
You shouldn't have the CGI engine hogging up like that, thats not how
web stuff is supposed to work. Fi

Yeah, that was a nifty demonstration of how to get around
single-threadedness, especially after Mark and I had been talking about
that very topic for a week or so. I was thinking that it would be cool to
attach various LC externals and libraries to make a robust way to implement
some better f
Thanks for the really useful responses Richard, Alex & Tom - great to know the
art of the possible.
I think most of my current use cases will be supported by send with time, as
they’re more lightweight ’tick-over’ activities than big batch jobs.
Best,
Keith

I did a multi-core processing presentation with livecode at the global
conference.
running long shell commands is one of the use cases for such a setup.

might be an option here.

You can do it with LC, but not as a CGI, as LC Serv

Thanks Mike, I was aware of ‘do’ but hadn’t used ’send’, so not seen its timer
aspect.
The examples in the dictionary look potentially useful for a couple of
lightweight activities I’d like to have ticking-over in the background on my LC
Server, pending page visits.

In the meantime, there are two commands to have a look at if you want to
have a crack at rolling your own
send and do
send "doSomething" to me in 60 seconds
then there is a way to see if you're interrupting an asynchronous activity

LC is single-threaded so CRON is a little tricky. I have code that works
with those limitations. I suppose I should repo it. Some day I might even
get the secondary process part working.

Folks,
Please can anyone steer me towards the dictionary keyword equivalent to ‘cron'
jobs for initiating time-based background functions, along the lines of…
on TimeAt pHour pMinute pSecond
do stuff
end TimeAt
