Hi.. one question...

If I have a Service that has a processs that take 10 minutes (for example).. and I have this line..

StartServiceAt("", DateTime.Now + 60 * 1000, True)

When the Service start again.. will suspend the first process? or i will have running 2 process?

I want to know what the operation is ?.

Is it replaced? or does the service work several times? what is going on?

Thanks.

Click to expand...
You will have only one process : the service itself but it will be restarted if already running (it will pass the Service_Start sub again). This means that the service won't pass the Service_Create sub nor the Process_Globals declaration in that service.
Of course, if the service had been killed, then, it will be first being created.

Yes... I'm starting the service every 5 minutes (300 000 miliseconds)

StartServiceAt("", DateTime.Now + 300 * 1000, True)

I have this line in the Service_Start

But for some reason.. after some time.. the service stop and never run again..

Thinking about your last post : are you really sure the service is stopped (I mean do you have for example recorded some logs at each start of it) ? Perhaps the communications are closed.
That's only a question by curiosity. On my G5 with Oreo, StartserviceAtExact still runs the service each quarter since we have talked about previously. The only difference is that I only store the execution time in a list and have that list. Than I stop the service till the next execution. I'll have to try with a delay of 5 mn, now

When my Service_Start.. I verify the connection.. if the connection is lost.. then the phone recover the communication.. and send a test.

I can see the test in my server.

The funny thing is that when I have it connected to B4a to see the whole Log, it never fails.

Ok, my service is stopped... I know also because I connect the phones with USB for see the Log.. and this don't show anything

so.. is stopped..

One question.. if I use StartserviceAtExact() i can fix an exact hour... for example..

I can do something like this???..

.......
StartServiceAtExact(12:30:00)
StartServiceAtExact(12:40:00)
StartServiceAtExact(12:50:00)
StartServiceAtExact(13:00:00)
StartServiceAtExact(13:10:00)
StartServiceAtExact(13:20:00)
.......

If you can, where exactly would you have to put these lines?

This to ensure that it really works...

Is possible?, I need to guarantee the operation (I can not accept that it works in some and not others).

Thanks again.

No. You can however find the next scheduled time: [B4X] Calculating the next scheduled time

Hi,

I see you are starting a service on each quarter and I don't know how to do that. I want to do the same. Can you post the coding you used to do that?

Thanks in advance.
