I am developing a server-based multi-user BBS program. Currently,
all the servers must be started up manually. This is a temporary
solution that I must disband before the product starts shipping.
Is there currently a standard way to do this? How have other
people done it? (Don't say, "do it as a library or a device"
because I don't have time to figure out how to build a device
right now... that'll be in version 2.0) Can someone direct
me to a FishDisk example?
One thought (though this is pretty cheap) is to do:
loaded = FALSE;
while ((fooPort = FindPort(FOO)) == NULL) {
if (!loaded) loaded = Execute("run fooServer");
Delay(A_COUPLE_SECONDS);
}
Is that real cheezwiz or what? If you ask me to start playing with
LoadSeg and UnLoadSeg I may just do it right and build it as a .library.
