GOAL:
How to run a Progress program as a batch process
GOAL:
How to create a daemon like process using Progress.
GOAL:
How to create a background process using Progress.
FACT(s) (Environment):
UNIX
Windows
Progress/OpenEdge Product Family
FIX:
This is done by specifying the -b (batch-mode) startup parameter for the client:
_progres -b ... <other parameters follow here>
prowin32 -b ... <other parameters follow here>
Note: the prowin32 is the GUI client executable and is available only on Windows platforms.
Alternatively, one can use either the bpro or mbpro scripts supplied by Progress:
mbpro sports -p process.p
These scripts will ensure the client is started with the -b parameter as required.
