Thom, After thinking a little harder on this I think I would rather write the time stipulation in the script. If it fires off the first time and has a lot of files to process, it could still be processing the first round of files when it is scheduled to fire off the second time. I would not want that to cause problems. How would you go about changing it in the code?

Greetings, I'm assuming this is being kicked off by the Scheduler. Are you running other scripts during this interval? The easiest (no script modification) way would be to use the Scheduler. You could set up the script to be on a minute interval (every 10) with a start time of 9:00AM. Then check off the hours from 12 - 8:00 AM under the Hours interval tab. This way the same script would launch every 10 minutes - if no files, it just ends, if files it processes. Regards, Thom Thom C.

Smesny Sent: Thursday, March 15, 2007 12:30 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [Talk] Polling a folder until a certain time. I currently have a script set up that fires off at 9:00 in the morning. The script looks at a folder and checks for files. If it finds a file it processes it then looks for another file. It will process all of the files until the folder no longer contains any files. If the folder is empty, the script will terminate. Is there a way to have the script keep polling until 12:00. Maybe set up a wait statement and have it check every 10 minutes until it is 12:00 then shut down? This message was scanned with MIMESweeper.
