Function Timeout

[TheVig]

What is the simplest way to end a function if it runs for longer than a specified time?




I have some files I'm grabbing from FTP and sometimes the function hangs up and never grabs the files and never throws an error.

So after like 30 seconds...kill the thread!

Thanks

Function example_ftp

Code:

Copy      Help

;/exe
mes "ftp"

;BEGIN PROJECT
;main_function  example_ftp
;exe_file  $my qm$\example_ftp.qmm
;flags  6
;guid  {CEDB34A2-079B-44F0-8A3E-BC2A04D66DD7}
;END PROJECT

Macro Macro299

Code:

Copy      Help

int ht=mac("example_ftp")
wait 5 H ht
err EndThread "" ht

Or everything in single exe:
Function example_ftp2

Code:

Copy      Help

;/exe

int ht=mac("sub.Thread")
wait 5 H ht; err


#sub Thread
mes "ftp"

;BEGIN PROJECT
;main_function  example_ftp2
;exe_file  $my qm$\example_ftp2.qmm
;flags  6
;guid  {A566CFC8-6A72-454E-941F-1CB189873293}
;END PROJECT
