Add the delay for "missing the bus" and you're out to a 45-minute delay. The need for on-demand is even greater, even something done crudely: If a build's in process, flag the need. When the build completes, check if it has to be done again. I assume that updates aren't so frequent that you'd be constantly rebuilding, or so infrequently a missed rebuild would cause serious problems. Perhaps a way to check if a rebuild's in process so that if it's slower than usual a developer can see it's not forgotten (or who else is doing one). ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 6: Have you searched our list archives? http://archives.postgresql.org
