I don't think the following is due to a flaw in gip. But it keeps
happening
so I'd like to describe it and invite any comments regarding its cause
or
what might be done.
In general I run a small program to do a set of gip fetches each
morning,
timed to complete before the 9am 'deadline' when BT start clocking data
against out 'cap' value. The program simply issues a sequence of
command
line fetches using gip. This lets me write a text file which lists the
pids
that my program reads and then uses these to issue the fetch commands
via
system() one by one.
Most mornings this works fine. But sometimes it doesn't.
The most common symptom is that a command line fetch begins, but then
halts
with the progress at 0.0%. More rarely, it halts after the
Commencing...
Does your framework issue g_ip commands with --verbose etc specified?
And does it
capture the verbose output?
(I would not be surprised if it didn't, because a while ago I was unable
to make a
script running uner Windows capture output, without interfering with the
way that
G_ip itself captures subcommand results so it can decide if they worked.
But you
may have been luckier.)
