scheduling

I'm looking at making a booking system and I need to display all the available users on a particular day/time. Thinking about it, I'm going to set up a table to keep note of when people AREN'T available, and assume that they are otherwise available. The structure I had in mind was to keep a note of the date_start of when they won't be available, and then the date_end. Now the problem arises when I'm trying to book a meeting, if I want to book something on Tuesday for 11:00 until 13:00 I need to fetch a list of those people that are available then, i.e. don't have any holidays booked at during

I have a script that takes a lot of time to complete. Instead of waiting for it to finish, I'd rather just log out and retrieve its output later on. I've tried; at -m -t 03030205 -f /path/to/./thescript.pl nohup /path/to/./thescript.pl & And I have also verified that the processes actually exist with ps and at -l depending on which scheduling syntax i used. Both these processes die when I exit out of the shell. Is there a way to keep a script from terminating when I close the connection? We have crons here and they are set up and are working properly, but I would like to use at or nohup for

Is it a standard practice to automate outlook from a web application using ActiveX technology? How does this compare with a web scheduler like telerik's RadScheduler + telerik's Exchange Provider to schedule an appointment from the web application itself? Thanks, Sendhil You will need to provide more details about what you are trying to accomplish rather then just stating automation of outlook within a web application. The reason I say this is because it really depends on what you are trying to do. If all you are trying to do is create an appointment then no you do not need activex. Here is

I am working on a project for class with probably the WORST instruction ever where we have to implement a simple scheduler.. although C programming is not a prereq for the course, that is the language of the scheduler and I'm not necessarily a C programmer.. Anyhow, I am trying to debug this by printing out the task so I can trace it through the program, but I keep getting the following compile-time error: schedule.c:61:48: error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type This is the task_struct definition: struct task_struct { struct thread_info *thread_info; int prio, static_prio, normal_prio

I want to write a long running process (linux daemon) that serves two purposes: responds to REST web requests executes jobs which can be scheduled I originally had it working as a simple program that would run through runs and do the updates which I then cron’d, but now I have the added REST requirement, and would also like to change the frequency of some jobs, but not others (let’s say all jobs have different frequencies). I have 0 experience writing long running processes, especially ones that do things on their own, rather than responding to requests. My basic plan is to run the REST part

I'm looking for a custom visual component for Delphi 7 which handles scheduling on a calendar. I'm not looking for an actual calendar, and I'm definitely not looking for some overhauled licensed component. I just want a simple visual component, with a trackbar-like list of items. For example, along the left, I could have employee names listed. Each of those records stretches across the control. To the right, the X axis represents time, and each employee (Y Axis) record could have multiple time periods (start..finish), which are not only displayed to the right of the employee, but also user can
