texte = What we're trying to accomplish with the triggers, is to have a database file be re-written every 10 minutes. I thought that the trigger would do it but I can't even get them to do anything at all.If anyone has triggers working for you let me know how...Thanks.-----Original Message----- From: Dale LaFountain [mailto:dalel@darkhorse.com] Sent: Monday, September 17, 2001 2:19 PM To: WebDNA-Talk@talk.smithmicro.com Subject: Re: Trigger Problems >Hi to all. >We have 6 triggers that don't work at all.

We just gave up on triggers after struggling with them for over a year, and are now much happier (and faster and more stable and more consistently executed) running our triggers from a unix box with crontab and wget. There are similar tools available for NT if you don't have a unix box handy.Third, as for debugging triggers, make sure you only list a single number or * in each time component, and that the value is absolute and valid (i.e. specify 5 in the minute field means 5 minutes after every hour, not every 5 minutes). Otherwise please post your raw database of triggers.db to the list and we'll try to help you out further.Good luck,-Dale -- Dale LaFountain Vice President of Information Technology, WebMaster Dark Horse Comics, Inc. mailto:dalel@darkhorse.com Phone: 503-652-8815 x324 http://www.darkhorse.com/------------------------------------------------------------- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list
