I've noticed that everytime that I leave an EU program running (i.e. mike - nz's editor in particular) and my monitor goes into sleep mode, I can't wake the it up and have to hardware reset and reboot(even ctrl-alt-del is dead). Without it running, wake-up works fine and does so over several days. any Ideas?? ..george

I had this same problem with another application a few months ago, and found no solution for it, but i suspect it caused by quick loops in the code, that for some reason the code doesn't deal with the OS grabbing the cpu back. Try putting some sleep(0) into the source after every "while" line? The code i was running was a internet app that used EInetLib_full.ew, but i switched everything over to tcp4u before i thought of this possible solution. My monitor was going to sleep, even tho all bios and os settings said "no sleep", and on wakeup, i discovered the *entire* puter was asleep, the clock had not been updated, the internet connection was off and no net application knew about it, and no code had been running anywhere on the puter.

The lockup when my monitor goes to sleep and can't be awakened is not the only lockup issue. I've discovered that the program I've been working on, customer file maintenance, that all have been helping me with, will also lock up my telephone answering system which will answer the phone after 3 rings. If I kill my ARF020 program the phone system will immediately pick up the line. I will certainly like to find a solution to this. What could EU be doing (or I'm doing) that could cause this?? ..george ----- Original Message ----- From: <gertie at ad-tek.net> To: "EUforum" <EUforum at topica.com> Sent: Monday, August 06, 2001 3:57 PM Subject: Re: bad problem > > > On 6 Aug 2001, at 11:31, George Walters wrote: > > > > > I've noticed that everytime that I leave an EU program running (i.e. mike - > > nz's editor in particular) and my monitor goes into sleep mode, I can't wake > > the it up and have to hardware reset and reboot(even ctrl-alt-del is dead). > > Without it running, wake-up works fine and does so over several days. > > I had this same problem with another application a few months ago, and found no > solution for it, but i suspect it caused by quick loops in the code, that for some reason > the code doesn't deal with the OS grabbing the cpu back.

I've isolated the problem. When I launch my program ARF020 using mike carroll's editor my system does not lock up. When the same program is launched from mike's editor (the one written in eu, sorry I don't know this mike's last name) the system will lock up as previously mentioned. I can still select other programs from the task bar and they all will run fine. Just this monitor wakeup lock, which is severe, and the telephone software can't answer the phone...I hope this will give someone and idea of what's going on so I can fix it... ..thanks... george ----- Original Message ----- From: <gertie at ad-tek.net> To: "EUforum" <EUforum at topica.com> Sent: Monday, August 06, 2001 3:57 PM Subject: Re: bad problem > > On 6 Aug 2001, at 11:31, George Walters wrote: > > > > > I've noticed that everytime that I leave an EU program running (i.e. mike - > > nz's editor in particular) and my monitor goes into sleep mode, I can't wake > > the it up and have to hardware reset and reboot(even ctrl-alt-del is dead). > > Without it running, wake-up works fine and does so over several days. > > I had this same problem with another application a few months ago, and found no > solution for it, but i suspect it caused by quick loops in the code, that for some reason > the code doesn't deal with the OS grabbing the cpu back.

http://www.sysinternals.com grab a copy of everything these guys have to offer. they're free utilities for TCP/IP scanning, file monitoring, process exploring, registry monitoring, etc..etc. I like the process explorer because it will show all of the running processes on my machine and let me kill any of them, if I see fit. If Im not mistaken, they also have a application explorer to show/dump memory, in otherwords, they have some pretty cool stuff.

Let the programs run for a while, and watch the resources. When running Mike'e editor along with other Euphoria programs, mine goes from 89% free down to 40% in a few hours. But only sometimes. It's unpredictable. Regards, Irv

It would be important to find out whether *any* Euphoria program does this, or just your ARF program. Try running something substantial such as Judith's IDE and see what the phone does. Regards, Irv

Irv, I ran Judith's IDE from Mike - nz's editor and it did the same thing, so it's not probably an ARF issue.. as soon as I exited the IDE the phone software picked up the phone. I also ran a couple of the example programs and the same thing occurred... ..george ----- Original Message ----- From: "Irv Mullins" <irvm at ellijay.com> To: "EUforum" <EUforum at topica.com> Subject: Re: bad problem > > On Tuesday 07 August 2001 11:23, Irv Mullins wrote: > > > > On Tuesday 07 August 2001 10:09, George Walters wrote: > > > The lockup when my monitor goes to sleep and can't be awakened is not the > > > only lockup issue.

Irv, If I am in edit mode in mike's editor all works fine. It's when I click the 'execute' button and launch a program it must lock up some resource needed by the phone software and the monitor wakeup software.

I could leave the original Morfit exe running all night and my computer would happily wake up. My Eu conversion (which I could swear was a plain, simple conversion) simply wouldn't come out of sleep. In the end, I switched off the "sleep" in Windows (and the bios from memory). I wonder if translating to C and then compiling to exe might fix it?

In addition to my previous reply, I also *think* that the refusal to wake up also occurred when bound as an exe ie. not run from my editor (which was MEdit). > Irv wrote.... > > > It would be important to find out whether *any* Euphoria program does > this, > > or just your ARF program.

Well, I've tested a lot Mike's editor (the eu4 one) and I think there're still some memory leaks on it. Maybe that could be the problem. Also if your're running win9x it's innapropiate to leave it on during the day without a simple reset, it seems that's not ready to do such things, and makes the whole system slower until a reset. I didn't have this problems with NT or Linux. When I got back to my city I'll try to watch for some bug on the editor. Hope this helps, Guillermo BonvehĂ --- George Walters <gwalters at sc.rr.com> wrote: > > I've isolated the problem.

(That's a relief) So, it seems that something either within the editor, or the fact that it calls another program (system or system_exec?) must be the problem. At least in your case it seems to be repeatable. Try writing a small windows program with hothing but a button to exec your ARF020 program, and see if it kills the phone. Let's hope it doesn't, because you may eventually want to be able to call other programs from some main program. Regards, Irv

I ran this directly from a dos prompt include win32lib.ew -- create a control in the window constant TheWindow = create( Window, "Close Window", 0, Default, Default, 200, 100, 0 ), CloseButton = create( DefPushButton, "Close Window", TheWindow, 40, 10, 120, 30, 0 ) -- tell Windows when to do the action onClick[CloseButton] = system_exec("exw d:/euphoria/training/arf020.exw",1) WinMain( TheWindow, Normal ) I didn't get a chance to click the button but it killed the phone anyway....Does this mean we have a problem with EU?? ..george ----- Original Message ----- From: "Irv Mullins" <irvm at ellijay.com> To: "EUforum" <EUforum at topica.com> Sent: Tuesday, August 07, 2001 1:44 PM Subject: Re: bad problem > > On Tuesday 07 August 2001 13:33, George Walters wrote: > > > > Just to check, I executed ARF020 directly from a dos prompt (exw arf020) > > and the phone software works fine... > > (That's a relief) > > So, it seems that something either within the editor, or the fact that it > calls another program (system or system_exec?) must be the problem. > At least in your case it seems to be repeatable. > > Try writing a small windows program with hothing but a button to exec your > ARF020 program, and see if it kills the phone. > > Let's hope it doesn't, because you may eventually want to be able to call > other programs from some main program. > > Regards, > Irv > > > > >

AFAIK, it needs a routine_id. Besides which, system_exec is a function, and returns success/fail code, so what your progam is doing is calling system_exec on startup, and assigning the return value to the onClick event. Pretty much guaranteed not to work. Try this instead: -- code generated by Win32Lib IDE v0.10.5 include Win32Lib.ew without warning ---- -- Window Window1 global constant Window1 = create( Window, "Window1", 0, Default, Default, 400, 300, 0 ) global constant PushButton2 = create( PushButton, "PushButton2", Window1, 52, 16, 90, 30, 0 ) ---- procedure PushButton2_onClick () atom ok ok = system_exec("exw d:/euphoria/training/arf020.exw",1) -- try zero, also end procedure onClick[PushButton2] = routine_id("PushButton2_onClick") WinMain( Window1, Normal )

i ran your version and it killed the phone.

Since George is the only one who has a repeatable test for this fault, we'll let George do it. If this is successful, it may provide an answer to some other puzzling problems. Regards, Irv

I can't try shellExecuteEx. The doc does not describe the parameters nor give an example. If you can describe them to me I'll give that a try also. ..george ----- Original Message ----- From: "Irv Mullins" <irvm at ellijay.com> To: "EUforum" <EUforum at topica.com> Subject: Re: bad problem > > On Tuesday 07 August 2001 20:09, Matthew Lewis wrote: > > > From: "Irv Mullins" <irvm at ellijay.com> > > > > I don't think that there's anything win32lib is doing to mess things up, > > but rather than system_exec, you could try win32lib's shellExecute/Ex.

But sometimes I got the same problems with another programs. This is not problem of Eu. There is a problem with APM. Try to update your BIOS and Win drivers. Also look in BIOS and try to turn off some APM features. Regards, Martin

I might agree with you except that the issue with the modem has problems also and without EU I have no problems at all. I'll see if there are any updates to the bios.. ..george ----- Original Message ----- From: <martin.stachon at worldonline.cz> To: "EUforum" <EUforum at topica.com> Subject: Re: bad problem > > > > I've noticed that everytime that I leave an EU program running (i.e. > mike - > > nz's editor in particular) and my monitor goes into sleep mode, I can't > wake > > the it up and have to hardware reset and reboot(even ctrl-alt-del is > dead). > > Without it running, wake-up works fine and does so over several days. > > > > any Ideas?? > > > > ..george > > I've got an Energy Star monitor and it wakes up anytime Eu programs > is running.

I can confirm Martin's observations. I too have an Energy Star monitor and it also used to lock up my machine when it went to sleep. I went to the BIOS and the Control Panel's power settings and made sure the monitor would not go into any sleep mode. There has been no troubles since then. ----- Original Message ----- From: <martin.stachon at worldonline.cz> To: "EUforum" <EUforum at topica.com> Subject: Re: bad problem > > > I've noticed that everytime that I leave an EU program running (i.e. > mike - > > nz's editor in particular) and my monitor goes into sleep mode, I can't > wake > > the it up and have to hardware reset and reboot(even ctrl-alt-del is > dead). > > Without it running, wake-up works fine and does so over several days. > > > > any Ideas?? > > > > ..george > > I've got an Energy Star monitor and it wakes up anytime Eu programs > is running.
