Greetings,

You can still have those, but I think I get your meaning.

 

A Timeout in a Step says - If none of the above Rules have been true for the 
interval then the Timeout Rule shall be true.

An Always rule is Always true - therefore having  a timeout in such a step is 
-well it doesn't make any sense because there is nothing that could ever 
timeout.

 

Now a good point you are making is if a chunk of code is executed by an Always 
, and if there is something inside that chunk of code that could hang (an 
Activate "caption",True for example), there you would need to implement a way 
to get out of said code:

Here's an example - this would be the verbatim code within a Rules action:

 

On error Goto Errh

               Timeout=20

               Activate "caption",True

               ....

               Step="Where should I go next"

Exit Sub

Errh:

               Step="Where should I go if the Activate timed out"

Exit sub

 

Regards,

Thom

If all your steps have a Timeout Rule, then you are covered. Of course that 
means you can't have any steps that only have a single Always rule.

 

Thank you,

Subject: [talkbws] Script Timeout

 

Has anyone implemented logic to have a script timeout.  I know that I can set a 
particular step to timeout after so long.  However, I would like to set a 
timeout on my script overall.  This way if it hangs on any step I am covered.  
Thought someone may have come up with a clever method for doing this.

 

Thanks,
Davy
