Hey kids.ãã I'm trying to write a login matrix command shell in java, but I'm ãrunning into some stupid problems (ie. I'm stupid :) )ã javascript is new to me (I program in pascal) so I've fudged a loop to ãkeep the command input going (while (1) {}).ã However, I need to be able to test for the user disconnecting so I ãdon't pooch my bbs.ãã What is going on is this - I display my base ansi, then have an input ãloop where the cursor keys change the current menu command. Since the ãcommands don't do anything yet, I have to disconnect my client when I'm done ãtesting. Problem is, when my client disconnects, cpu usage spikes and I ãcan't shutdown the node or sbbsctrl.ãã I'm guessing my crappy script is just looping in the background, ãunaware that there is no longer a client attached. How do I fix that?ãã THanks!ããGlucose Grinãã---ã þ Synchronet þ Vertrauen þ Home of Synchronet þ [vert/cvs/bbs].synchro.netã

ã > while(bbs.online) { }ããI figgured it out now :) thank you. I did try that earlier, but I had ãwhile(bbs.online = 2), which I guess is assignment and not boolean, so I ãscrew'd up. Or maybe I just did it wrong.ãã It seems to be working now... and I have to say, THis javascript is ãmuch easier and more powerful than baja (altho as a BBS scripting language, ãbaja is pretty good)ãã Ahhweeeellll.. Thanks again.ããGlucose Grinãã---ã þ Synchronet þ Vertrauen þ Home of Synchronet þ [vert/cvs/bbs].synchro.netã
