If you subclass Thread (or, better yet, Runnable), you can add a method that tells the process to stop itself: basically, you set a flag that your long-running loop (or whatever) periodically checks to see if it's been set. If it's been set, you simply return from the "run" method and the thread stops. This is much better than calling Thread.stop(). > It sounds like a good idea to start these background threads in a new > process.

Yeah, you'll need to see what they allow you to do. cron is, of course, the best choice if it's available. Otherwise, you may have to run your process from within your web application. :( - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkkkIcEACgkQ9CaO5/Lv0PChigCaAhi4PtzdVngSBdAZ4aRiq8IS c/IAoIaNVjkBxa8Z9MUpwQxEEsGysHcc =GttZ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
