Re: [Jason-users] Reasoning-cycles at "regular" intervals

[Daniel T. <dan...@gm...>]

Hi Soren,

I've done this once before when synching with an external source
(although not on a timed basis).

I over-rode (or possibly modified the source) of allAgsFinished() of
the ExecutionControl class;

The base code is:


	protected void allAgsFinished() {
                startNewCycle();
		infraControl.informAllAgsToPerformCycle(cycleNumber);
		logger.fine("starting cycle "+cycleNumber);
	}

You can put a sleep in here, so that startNewCycle() is not called immediately.


Regards,

Daniel
