Program Quits when going offline...

[evil]

Hello!
I just tried the following code:

bool=IsOnline()
If bool=TRUE THEN Print ("Online") Else Print ("Offline")
waitevent

When starting, the program works correct.
But:
When I am online, before starting the code and go offline, while the program is running, then the program simply quits without any message.
I also noticed this with other Programs. For example Flipclock.
Why does this happen, and how can this be solved??

Hi evil,
you have to put your code in a loop to check what effectively happen:

Code: Select all

Local bool = IsOnline()
If bool
   DebugPrint("You are connected!")
   DebugPrint("Now try to disconnect from Internet...")
   While bool
      bool = IsOnline()
      Wait(10)
   Wend
EndIf

DebugPrint("You are offline!")

I know, but that is not the problem.
Even if I put it into a loop. The Program quits, when I cut the internet-connection. Why??
Other Programs (for example Flip-Clock) have this problem, too.
Is there a chance to solve this??

That's strange. What platform is this? Can you test it on some other platforms and see if the problem happens on all platforms or only on one?

Hello!

I am using Hollywood 5.2 On Os4.1.5
On WinUAE and under Windows, it works correctly. After a latency of 2 -3 seconds (while going offline) it displays the correct boolean Value.

Other derivates cannot be testet here!

Looks like a problem with OS4's TCP/IP stack then. Maybe it sends all processes a CTRL-C signal when going offline. Otherwise I can't think of anything that could cause Hollywood to quit when the TCP/IP stack goes offline...

Hi!
@Andreas:
You are right! It seems to be a problem with roadahow.
Even OWB and Jabberwocky quit, when I shutdown the internet-connection.
YAM AND IBrowsw dont...

Please report this to Hyperion

Do you mean actual Flipclock 53.1 Beta 3 on Os4depot.net?
If you mean Flipclock 1.1 forget it, it was using wget.

hello!
@fingus
I tried flipclock V53.1 Beta3 and got this problem...

I also tried wget 1.9.1, and it got a Break-signal. So the old flipclock-version will have problems under os4, too.

Isn't there any workaround in hollywood for that?
Why can It get and reckon these break-signals? Is it, because hollywood-execs are commodities? In this case, it may be possible to change the codes to not be commodities??

I'll send a bug-reort to hyperion!

Greets!!
