[Madeleine-devel] Checking if command log is empty or not

[Alexey Verkhovsky <alex@ve...>]

Hello,

I'd like to be able to do something like:

loop do
 take_snapshot unless command_log.empty?
 sleep ONE_DAY
end

Is there any way to do it with Madeleine 0.7? I don't see anything like 
it in the public interface.

By the way, why should everybody put this code in their apps:

   #  Thread.new(madeleine) {|madeleine|
   #    while true
   #      sleep(60 * 60 * 24) # 24 hours
   #      madeleine.take_snapshot
   #    end
   #  }

This looks like it belongs somewhere in automatic.rb (and perhaps might 
have some optional behaviors - c.f. the original question).

Best regards
Alexey Verkhovsky

Hi,

To answer about the automatic snapshot code, look at the file service.rb =
in
the AUTOMATIC_EXPERIMENTAL branch of the CVS.  It's something I was =
already
looking at.

Maybe this link will work:

http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/madeleine/madeleine/lib/madeleine/?=
onl
y_with_tag=3DAUTOMATIC_EXPERIMENTAL

Sorry I don't have a use example to hand, I can knock one up if you =
need.

Regards,
Stephen
