ON EXIT

[David McGehee]

I seem to remember reading that jBase had an ON EXIT function available for a program.  I cannot find the documentation.  Does it exist?  Has anyone used it?  We are having a problem with Program level tasks disappearing on Windows Server 2003 (new problem but have been on 2003 for long time) and need to document state of program when it terminates.  (Window for task was jstarted so it terminates as well.)

jBase Version is 4.1.5.17 patch 5690

I think you are thinking of:

JBC_TCLRESTART	set to command to execute instead of shell
JBC_ENDRESTART	set to command to execute after end from debugger
JBCRESTARTPROG	set to command to execute after off (unix/Linux only)

But these won't help if the program is crashing. With background programs I have noticed that that if the TERM variable is unset and a program tries to print, then it crashes hard. Try making sure that you have set TERM to something and check any new programs for trying to print as a background job.

The documentation for ON.EXIT is on the AUTOLOGOUT page.

These processes are run on console windows, not via telnet.  Also, because a window is jstarted for each process, when the process terminates the window terminates.  They are not going into debugger nor exiting to shell.  That was why I was looking for an ON EXIT type of function which would be called as the processed terminated.

Should not make a difference.

But what would you do in the ON.EXIT that would help you debug your code? Why not just single step through the code with the debugger? That's what it there for. Use subroutine breaks to narrow it down to a subroutine, then single step.

I sent this once but  didn't see it come  through so I'm resending it...

Bloody double poster! You're fired.

Actually, Gentlemen, the documentation is on page 60 of the programmer’s guide.  The function is called CALLONEXIT

Hi David,

I still think that you should learn to use the jBASE debugger and single step, you will soon find the issue and it will allow you to pin down future issues much more quickly.

Has anyone noticed that the knowledgebase search isn't working, or is it something wrong on my end?

url: http://www.jbase.com/jsearch.html

This is what I see:

Search jBASE

Look for words with the same prefix. For example, in your query form type key to find key, keying, keyhole, keyboard, and so on.

etc.

I can see a cursor between the lines, but the text I type doesn't echo, and nothing happens when I press <Enter>.

Thanks,

It is working, but it is extremely slow while it waits for the external search engine to work. Generally you are better with Google:

jgrep site:jbase.com

knowledgebase is very slow... it really need to be maintained....
