Hi everyone, In order to make an application more responsive, im thinking of implementing a kind of threading so that the application can still run while the GUI remains responsive. The application in question is a domain scanner and it scans some hundreds of servers which takes quite a while given the number of servers, their locations or type (phys. or virtual). I dont need this to go faster mind you but i dont want to go slower either...
All i need is to be able to browse tabs and eventually change a setting or another. Problem is that mouse interception is not really working because of the intermittent shell calls and any mouseclick seems to get lost. Unless i want to click for 1-4 minutes and wait with the mousedown which i dont really fancy for anyone to suffer. Using "send" is also not a good idea because i use shell commands that may take different times to finish - some servers are vmware slow or are located in places like dubai or Prague may not respond too quickly... Problem with the send command is that if you ask it to send something in 5 seconds and there is a process already running, the send will definitely not run in 5 seconds... And worse, it may prevent intercepting your mouseclick. I was thinking of a script that runs the shell, waits if mouseclick or something like that... But last thing i want is to make this complex code more complex... And im not sure the mouseclick will not be lost while the script runs. Something "interactive" is what I am looking for... Last but not least, i can't (or dont want to) manage more than 1 shell running at a time using a quick batch runner - meaning i'll have to manage interleaving and limiting processing load. The server has other functions and i can't monopolize the processors... Although this seems like my best solution. Im just planning ahead this feature so all your ideas are welcome! Im sure many of us revvers are looking for a script like this at some point for applications that take time to process...
