Forums mIRC Help Script "Monitor File Changes" warning?

Hi,

Is there anyway to automatically say yes to this prompt? I have an automated process which amends a script and I need it to reload it so it can continue processing within Mirc. So how can I do it?



Any help would be very much appreciated!

Thanks

ALT + R - Options - Uncheck Monitor File Changes.

I NEED it to reload the script, because my process alters it. I just need it to do with without asking me if it's ok to do so!

If I untick "Monitor File Changes" it doesn't detect changes to the script at all.

So do the above^, edit the file, run a timer to load the .mrc and unload it.. perhaps that'd work?

or alternatively, perhaps /reload might work?

Ah yes maybe.... this has to be done automatically, so I will need it to reload it every 5 seconds or something. So what command do I use in a mrc to reload another script?

Well if your running the reload inside a "remotes script" you can just use:

/reload -rs $+(",$script,") - to reload the file this command is being run from, this could be put AFTER you /write to the file.

or, /reload -rs location\file.mrc - to reload a differnet file (this could also be run from a /timer if your doing it so frequently)..

- Note that prefixing with a . (DOT) will silence the:
* Reloaded script '....' message that appears.

Eamonn.

Great! Thanks
My script starts:

alias releaser-djsi {
/reload -rs $script

Do I put the /reload line there or do I put it before the alias line?

Put it directly under the /write statements that your using..

i.e.

/write myfile.mrc something something something
/write myfile.mrc something something something
/reload -rs $+(",$script,")

Note that you should use $+() around the $script incase your scripting file paths contain spaces, i.e. c:\program files\

Ah it is working

Thanks!!!

So how often will it reload the script? The script I currently have on a timer to run every 30seconds... so I guess it will reload then?

yup, simply decrease the timer to make it sooner.

I've just been testing it further, and although it is reloading the script, it doesn't appear to be running the rest of the script... not sure why.

I've put the reload command at the end, but it still doesn't seem to have helped!

Alternatively, is there a script I could write that would reload the other script when a certain file is created? Then I can get my process to create this file, once the original script has been updated, which would then reload it. Is this possible? Sorry maybe I haven't explained that very well...

Thanks for your help with this

Perhaps its because your using "/reload" as reload does not trigger the ON START/LOAD commands, and this is perhaps where your commands are being held? (dunno?)

If they are, then simply replace /reload with:

/timer 1 2 load -rs $+(",$script,")
/unload -rs $+(",$script,")

Eamonn.

I don't think so...

Here's my script, hopefully this should make this a lot easier:

alias releaser-djsi {
var %rls_ready =
var %site_ready =
var %rls = D:\System_Stats
var %site = D:\Site1
if %rls_ready = $date && $isfile(%rls) { set %rls_ready $date
msg #chan 12(NEW RELEASE) Ready:
msg #chan 12(NEW RELEASE) $nopath(%rls)
if %site_ready = $date && $isfile(%site) { set %site_ready $date
msg #chan 12(NEW RELEASE) System: $nopath(%site)  }
/reload -rs $+(",$script,")
}

I think best solution is to have another script reload this script (when a certain file is created), cause I only want it to reload the script when it needs to. That should be possible right?

Thanks
