how to start and stop a function based on the mail

[sadhana]

Is there any way to start a function once I receive an email and run for every one hour and stop when an email is received to stop.

This is the code with which im trying. here i can start the function and execute in each time interval but cannot stop as it stuck within the loop and not recognizing the stop email.

Healthcheck is the function i want to execute for every one hour. here i have given time interval as 2 mins.

HotKeySet("+!e", "_Exit") ;Shift-Alt-E to Exit the script
MsgBox(64, "ERS Health check", "Hotkey to exit the script: 'Shift-Alt-E'!")


Global $oOApp = ObjCreate("Outlook.Application")
Global $test = ObjEvent($oOApp, "oOApp_")

While 1
    Sleep(10)
WEnd

; Outlook 2007 - NewMailEx event - http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb147646(v=office.12).aspx
Func oOApp_NewMailEx($sOL_EntryId)

    Local $oOL_Item = $oOApp.Session.GetItemFromID($sOL_EntryId, Default)
    MsgBox(64, "OutlookEX UDF Example Script", "New mail has arrived!" & @CRLF & @CRLF & _
            "From:    " & $oOL_Item.SenderName & @CRLF & _
            "Subject: " & $oOL_Item.Subject)

            If $oOL_Item.Subject = "Stop" Then
               Exit
            EndIf

    While $oOL_Item.Subject = "Start"
     HealthCheck()
     Sleep(120000)

     WEnd
EndFunc

Added code tags

sadhana,

Welcome to the AutoIt forums.

When you post code please use Code tags - see here how to do it.  Then you get a scrolling box and syntax colouring as you can see above now I have added the tags.

Use AdLibRegister in the main script to run your function every hour. When a start/stop mail arrives set/reset a flag. Check this flag in your health check routine and act accordingly.
