- I have a problem that's need a solution.
-
- Here is the proposed program spec:
-
- 1) DCL .com file to run on VMS
- 2) runs as subprocess, continously
- 3) here's the tricky part:
- a) reads in the initial list of friends
- b) checks for each friends login status
- i.e. Logged In, Not Logged In
- and puts their name in the appropriate list
- i.e. Logged In, Not Logged In
- c) waits 1 to 2 minutes
- d) checks the Logged In, Not Logged In lists for any
- change in the user's status
- e) only prints to screen if there is a status change
- i.e. user has logged out.
- f) put any status changes in their appropriate list
- i.e. formerly logged in friend is put in Not Logged In list
- g) goto step c)
-
- simple, eh? I cannot seem to get a working version that does
- not use an external file.
