- There is a work around that will allow you to update a running Scala script
- while the on-air machine is displaying pages. Create your master script for
- on-air consisting of a series of pages that are really other Scala scripts.
- Update the sub-Scripts on the off-air machine and wait until one of the other
- sub-scripts is running on-air, then copy the updated script over parnet.
- When the master script runs back to the page that uses the script name of
- the file that is updated it will read in the new script and run your updated
- Script.
- Note: if you try to copy over the updated sub-Script while the master script is
- running the old version, it may lock up parnet. Scala has a file lock on the
- running script and will not allow you to change the file on disk.

- This technique has been in use for some time (over a year) at a public access
- television station. I know it works. Try it.
