Hi,
Heres the deal. Im using an alarm to let the user set a auto update
setting. For example, they can set it to update the virus def file every 1
hour. Right now I have it set to around 1min. when i activate the alarm,
it works fine ONLY if the app is already running. if im at the menu, or any
other app, it just gives a soft reset when the alarm is triggered. If i
turn it on, and sit at the apps home screen, the alarm is triggered, it does
the silent update, and the user cant even tell it did anything, but the
update logs show that it did run the update. in pilotMain() i am handleing
both types of launch codes for the alarms, sysAppLaunchCmdAlarmTriggered -
which i just use a function call do cmdPBP->purgeAlarm = false;, and then
sysAppLaunchCmdDisplayAlarm: calls a function to run the silentUpdate. In
silentUpdate, there is no use of Forms or any type of UI interaction or
global variables, basicly just a netlib open call and a few socket calls to
download the new virus def file, and some stuff to process the new file. I
also dont have any static local variables in the code it tries to execute
after the alarm. Any ideas for the soft reset when the app isnt running?
