Re: Running a Background Procsess On Garnet

[Scott Erickson]

Thanks for the idea.  As for what I will be watching for, we have already 
developed the same program on other platforms, we know what to look for and 
how to deal with it when we find it.  I just would like to find a way to 
make the scanner work full time, given it the same functionality as the 
scanner we have for windows mobile.  at this point it looks like it may have 
to be a scanner that will only be activated by the user, unless i can figure 
a way for it to run in the background.

Scott,
I would like to know if anyone knows how to run a background process.
AFAIK, under Garnet you would need to do this by running it in a callback 
for a
sound stream thread.  This may seem counterintuitive, but I think it is 
the only
mechanism exposed by Garnet where you can have a background process get 
some
timeslice.

I need it to be able to scan bluetooth,
SMS and email everytime data is sent to the device through one of these 
data
channels.  Any ideas???
Look for a new job or project?
Seriously, even if you accomplish a background process and intercepting 
all comm
traffic, just what do you think you will be watching for?
