Re: Never Ending Java Program

Nigel,
It actually extends TimerTask. So, I do pass it an interval. I was just
passing 1000, so maybe by passing 30000 as you suggest would work just fine.


Thanks for the tip, I don't know why I didn't think of that.

Regards,
James R. Perkins

James,

What does your main loop look like? Is it literally:

while (true)
{
(read contents of folder)
(check whether contents of folder have changed)
}

? With no delay in there? I would expect just slotting in a Thread.sleep
(30000); (if a 30 sec delay is acceptable) would reduce the CPU usage to 0%
during those 30 second wait periods?

Or if that doesn't help, on the SBMJOB command you could try running it
with a really low priority (say 95)?

Hope this helps,

Nigel Gay.
