Hi
I have a script which I use to monitor the zones in a remote alarm system. It's a looping script which processes the data coming in from a socket connection. I need one instance of the script running continuously.
What's the best place to locate this (script below) - is it as a resident script with a 0 interval time or as an init script or somewhere else?
Many thanks in advance
Kind Regards,
James

Code:
-- Initialise socket connection
if not sock then
require('socket')
sock, err = socket.connect('192.168.1.100', 2401)
if sock then
sock:settimeout(1)
else
log('Error connecting ' .. err)
sleep(5)
end
end
-- Process data received
if sock then
while true do
rec = sock:receive('*l')
if rec then
data = lmcore.hextostr(rec, true)
st, addr, len, cmd, event, id, area = data:byte(1, 7)
if (event == 0) then
log('Door open in Zone ' .. id)
else
log('Door closed in Zone ' .. id)
end
end
end
end
