Checking if Actor is working

[Mauri]

Hi,

I'm creating an actor like this, in order to call it every 15 minutes.

myActorCancellable =  actorSystem.scheduler().schedule(Duration.Zero(),
                Duration.create(15, TimeUnit.MINUTES),
                myActor,
                "START"
                );

But as the run of this actor can last longer than 15 Minutes, I want to check, if it is running, before sending a Start-Signal. Does anyone how to achieve that?

Thank you very much.

Mauri

Not entirely sure I understand what you want to achieve but one possible solutions could be:

Let the work actor do the actual work in a future and ignore new "START" messages if there is a future that is not complete.

This 15 minutes run, which can be more, is it blocking?
