Example: I run it all the time from work, but I'm when I'm at home I'd like to get email or page to let me know the site is down. Also, it is an email record of times the site was down.

I suppose someone could rewrite it to beep their speaker or whatever they want in place of an email. _________________________ Give a man a fish and he will be back for more.

Les Les KiX Master Registered: 2001-06-11 Posts: 12734 Loc: fortfrances.on.ca	Ah, the light just came on! I think he wants the UDF to simply return the status in the errorcode. That way the action could be done in the body of the script instead of in the UDF. Makes sense... UDFs should try to limit their function to one thing. Either do the function within the UDF, returning success or failure, or just return the status. _________________________ Give a man a fish and he will be back for more.

Lonkero Lonkero KiX Master Guru Registered: 2001-06-05 Posts: 22346 Loc: OK	yeah, boys you are slow! even you have no vodka! or maybe that's the reason. indeed, I want the udf to check the status, I can then decide what I want to do with that status info.

Lonkero Lonkero KiX Master Guru Registered: 2001-06-05 Posts: 22346 Loc: OK	yes he did. actually, he forgot to even dim anything in there. so, once you call the function the memory is reserved until script execution stops. all vars should be dimmed in all UDFs. specially this one as it uses varnames that can occur in the main script too. _________________________ ! download KiXnet

NTDOC NTDOC Administrator Registered: 2000-07-28 Posts: 11634 Loc: Space	Okay Okay... I'll quit writing them. I'll leave it to those with more experience. In the one I worked on later, I did close that var. I did not want to DIM in the UDF as I don't know how to easily retrieve it back outside the UDF. I did originally also have them dimmed but as I said, I could not easily retrieve their values outside the UDF. I've learned quite a bit in recent months, but I know I have a long way to go with writing "correct" tight code.

Les Les KiX Master Registered: 2001-06-11 Posts: 12734 Loc: fortfrances.on.ca	Don't quit DOC. Ideally, vars should be DIM'd local and data should pass through the parameters and/or the @Error set on EXIT. I know that it's not always possible but that is what one should strive for. _________________________ Give a man a fish and he will be back for more.
