Script pauses

[BryanVest]

Hello I created a script that monitors all the copiers on my network and then displays the current counter in real time. However after about 15-30 seconds the script stops updating. Any ideas why?

Code:

stack overflow?

I see no sleeps.

Yep that was it I was hoping I could keep it real time, but added a 3 second delay and it works perfectly. Thanks!

Even a 1 second delay may suffice. Who's to say it's not real-time? Even real-time apps have delays. It's required for the CPU to not become overloaded with information to process. The definition of real-time is a little loose pertaining to the actual time-frame it uses. Some apps consider real-time a 1 minute refresh... others a few seconds etc.

EDIT: To keep processing low, you could do a 1 minute auto-refresh. And add a button to perform a force refresh. Then if there are certain times of the day when there's a heavy workload that needs extra attention, set the sleep to 1 second until the job is done etc.

Very true a 3 second delay works great for this and honestly it seems instantly.
