RE: Can PC detect active job?

["Art Tostaine, Jr." <Art@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Try having a seperate room for the cocktail party.  It offers your guests a way 
to leave the messy
room and start new once the reception begins.  I prefer a piano player during 
the cocktail hour.

As for the computer problem, maintenance can be a problem with that sort of 
file.  I suggest a file
that has a record in it when the job is active.  Delete the record when the job 
isn't.  That way, in
the event of an abnormal end, you can just clear the file.

Subject: Can PC detect active job?



     One of our FoxPro developers is rewriting part of our EDI system.
     He needs a method to check if a process is active. He has requested
     that this be an ODBC solution (no ADO). The only idea I've had that
     seems plausible is a log file that stores job starting and ending
     timestamps for the process he wants to monitor. Any other ideas?

     Please respond to the following address as I'm taking a few days
     off for my wedding. All ideas are appreciated.

     TIA
