Re: time based execution

I would set up a cron script to run every minute checking for expired responses. In your table with orders, put an expire time. If any of the entries have expired times then move them over to another table or flip an expired bit. Have another script that comes over to the other table or selects all expired rows and process them accordingly. --Joe On Tue, Oct 17, 2000 at 01:06:13PM +0200, manohar sadhasivam wrote: > Hi all, > I send an order to a vendor.
