Rivet commands in a thread

[Scott Pitcher]

Hi,




Part of the SetupDatabase proc launches the thread with -

tsv::set [namespace current] Tid [thread::create -preserved [subst {
    #
    # Give the new thread access to the same website code base and copy the
    # module configuration over.
    #
    set auto_path "$::auto_path"
    namespace eval [namespace current] {
        array set Config \{[array get Config]\}
    }



    if {\[catch "package require Rivet" output ropts\]} {

    }

    thread::wait     ; # DEBUG

Am I do this correctly by trying to package require Rivet?

In a tcl source module in my Rivet website I'm launching a thread to handle periodic database management. I'm having trouble getting that thread to log to the apache log.     [namespace current]::Log "(\[pid\]) New thread created at \[clock format \[clock seconds\]\]"         [namespace current]::Log "(\[pid\]) package require Rivet failed: \$output" The Log function was created to capture some logging output and it simply appends the message into a log file in the website's tmp directory (adjacent directory to the source files). I can see in this log file that the new thread is created (line 2) but the "package require Rivet" fails with the "invalid command name ::rivet::inspect" (line 3)? (31279) package require Rivet failed: invalid command name "::rivet::inspect" I'm trying to load the Rivet package in this new thread because I want to use the ::rivet::apache_log_error function. It's rather opaque inside the thread and I have to examine the sqlite data base operations. It's certainly not doing maintenance correctly. I know that if I try to call ::rivet::apache_log_error from inside the thread protected by catch I get: (32512) ::rivet::apache_log_error failed: invalid command name "::rivet::apache_log_error"
