Ice && crob jobs

[xdm]

Hello guys

I interesting in a service of cron jobs via Ice

class MySubscriber extens IceCronSubscriber 
{
  virtual exec();
}


MySubscriber mySubscriber;
mySubscriber->dayly(true);
mySubscriber->monthly(true);

IceCron->subcribe(mySubscriber);

have Ice plans of do same thing similar to it?
thanks

No, we don't have any plans to implement this, but it should be pretty straightforward to write something like this yourself

The simpliest solution is:
You might remove a potential waitForShutdown() in your application code but add a while() loop instead which invokes certain operations after certain periods of time.
It gets a little bit more complicated when using Windows services: As there is no true main function for these type of applications, you can create a separate thread which then runs the while() loop.
The last and probably heaviest variant would be to mimic the CORBA services for this task: Create a time service which uses IceStorm for transmitting it's timing signals and register your object to the corresponding event channel!

regs,
