Hiya,
What about offloading the 'threading' to the database record/file locks?
The database needn't hold the files, just pointers.
I understand the speed issue.
Cheers,
Luis.

Hi Luis,
I thought about that long ago, but decided to use flat files to
keep the
stats and this has worked really
well over the years. One file per server for 400+ servers.
Also DBs are slower in comparison to a file loading... I'd have to
make
one or more transactions per server where as i load the file into a
variable and i have all the data there...
keeping it simple... The files repository is centralized in this
way...
thanks for the suggestion...

Thanks for everyone's input...
I came to the conclusion that my once-simple scanning program
ended up
with too many reporting features. So i have to separate them. I
will have
3 different applications in the end. One for scanning, one for
monitoring
the scanning and one to do the reporting.
I cannot use sockets or the like just because of the complexity it
would
add to the system plus the lack of tracking should anything go
wrong. This
is the same kind of issues with a cgi-based processes - if any of
them
hang, you dont know which one it is and you must kill all the
processes to
be clean again... We've had lots of issues with this which is why i
wont
go that way.
The plan i made is to write simple transactions to files and have a
cmd
helper run these. These create their logs which is what i need and
then
delete the transaction file once done. This way if anything happens
i can
track where it went wrong (the transaction is not deleted for
example)...
Also i can limit the number of processes easily since rev creates
the
transactions
only if there is no excess transactions left to be done...
Thanks too all who answered for your help and suggestions!
