Re: Never ending programs

[rob@xxxxxxxxx]

Nope.

What they mean is that you have a very simplistic trigger program that
calls another program and passes/receives the buffers.  This way you can
make changes to the called program without having to get an exclusive lock
on the file involved.

Perhaps what you meant was the people who have trigger program call
secondary program which then passes the buffer to a data queue.  Then, in
that case, you would have a NEP to process the data queue.

Well, someone's got to ask:

Having seen repeated recommendations to isolate the trigger program from
the actual processing program, doesn't this therefore imply the use of a
never-ending program ? ;)
