Hello all! As a port of a backup solution, i needa a queue. Having looked around the net, i haven found any standard way (besides named pipes) that I can use.
Requirements are: * There will be few elements in the queue (<20) * No critical section is needed (this is already adressed using mkdir) * The queue must be possible to examine without altering it * It would be nice if the queue only can contain unique elements (no point in queing the same job twice) My own two ideas are: * Files in a dir. Gives uniqueness if names are well selected, but I dont know how to handle element order neatly * Rows in a file: No guarantee for unique jobs. Easy to define order and to add a new job at end (or beginning) of a file or pop a job Any ideas or proposal of standard way to do this? -- <--------------------------------------------> Jon Sjöstedt
