Guys,

Do scan times always have to be specified in seconds?

I've got some fields that only need to be scanned once a minute, once
an hour, once every 4 hours, once every 12 hours, and once each night at
midnite (actually, 24 hours from the last scan).


David,


I'm on vacation, so rather short. This:

taskSpawn ("dhsDailyUpdate", 100, 8, 20000, dhsDailyUpdate)

(from an IOC's startup script) runs every day at 0:00 UT.

dhsDailyUpdate is a function in our FITS file writing device
support in this case, but I'd guess that it can be any non-private
function in any code that's loaded on the IOC.

(We had something similar before, you'll probably find it if
you search the tech-talk archive for taskSpawn)

HTH,
Aloha,
Maren
