Is there any standard way to lock up a session for a brief period? I have a 2 node replication server that needs to be able to lock 2 of it's sessions for a brief period so it can do some database updates without any new data being input. I know there are a bunch of ways to implement this in my db routines or even in my sessions, but I thought I'd ask anyway to see if there was something already there.
This is kind of like what I have now ... $_[KERNEL]->call( 'my_session', 'lock' ); $_[KERNEL]->call( 'my_session', 'unlock' ); where 'lock' sets a timer to automatically unlock the beast after a set number of seconds go by (automatic deadlock prevention). Maybe a $_[KERNEL]->suspend( 'my_session' ); would be nice to merely suspend events temporarily (but still queue them up). Then I could $_[KERNEL]->resume( 'my_session' );. This might be especially useful when Sessions might exist in separate threads or processes (wrap up the uglier IPC mechanisms like IPC::SysV). Anyways, I have something that works - just hoping for something cleaner. -Al Tobey ******************************************************************** This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.
