Doug:
That is an idea. I was hoping I could be more direct, but this should work.
Thanks,
Bill

Use the LOCK command with number 0 through 63. Have your phantom process do
a "LOCK 60". Then you can test it in other programs using the else clause:
LOCK 60 THEN
UNLOCK 60
* Restart phantom
END ELSE
* Phantom is running do nothing
END

Subject: [U2] UD: Phantoms
In UniData, does anyone know of a sure way to determine if a BASIC
program is running as a phantom?
We have a background service program in our application that has to be
running as a phantom whenever UniData starts. The ability to start
something when the dbms starts doesn't exist in UniData, so I have to
schedule the task when Windows starts. However, if the program stops
(or UD was stopped and restarted) I have no sure way to know if it's
running.
Does UD have any way to know this?
Thanks,
Bill Haskett
