Shanes idea is good, but I know that if I was on netware, I'd prefer to have a function to do it, rather than a command line switch.

How about moving this kind of functionality into ext/netware and having a couple of functions that manipulate the netware screens/interactivity stuff? Then the scripts themselves can control exactly what is needed; this feels better to me, as it is more in line with other systems. --Wez On Tue, 26 Oct 2004 07:31:16 -0700, Kamesh Jayachandran <kameshj@fastmail.fm> wrote:

Hi Wez, We have bash ported to NetWare which is new addition to our Netware distro. But still people tend to use System Console to run their programs. Basically this is the requirements from some of Netware customers

to use

php interpreter for running some cron jobs which does not need any pressanykey(No interactivity with the user). For other regular scripts invoked manually by user needs sort of interactivity before closing the screen. Regarding the pressanykey we can use NetWare system defaults to have prompt functionality upon exit without having any code to have pressanykey code. Still we need to have switches to have this interactivity or not(Based on usage regular/cron) We need one more switch to determine whether to have output in the Logger screen(System wide log console) or Interpreter screen.

Doesn't netware have a standard wait or pause utility for this

kind of

thing? It feels like PHP is the wrong place to add this kind of option; why should every application that runs on netware include code to open a screen? Why should every application that runs on netware include press-any-key code? Surely it is better to port a real shell and put the netware code in there instead? --Wez.

Hi All, I need two cli switches to handle some special cases to NetWare

specific

php invocation. In linux and windows where shell and command prompt far live

the php

interpreter invoked from them. Both shell and command prompt will capture the output of the

child php

interpreter. In NetWare OS, php cli for that matter most programs are not

invoked

from environments like shell/command prompt. They are invoked directly from System Console which is in some

sense

similar to "init" of Linux. This makes the program to have their own Screen. Upon exit of the program the screen will close and the user can

not see

the output anymore. To solve this issue we have 'pressanykey' prompt under ifdef

for NetWare

in php cli code before calling exit.. This introduces another problem of scripts to always wait for

user to

press any key before closing the screen. So we need a command line switch to conditionally prompting for

user's

attention 'pressanykey'. Another command line switch we need is to conditionally open or

not to

open the screen at all. Currently I could see g, j, k, o, p, t,u, x, y not being used. Can I make use of any two of them? With regards Kamesh Jayachandran -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
