Hello,
I use ruby 1.8.6 on windows xp sp2. My script updates podcast
subsrciptions at night.This saves internet traffic during the day. It
starts iTunes application, sleeps while itunes updates feeds and then
quits.
Here's listing
require 'win32ole'
#starts itunes application and updates podcasts
ready = Time.local(2007, "Apr", 25, 15, 05, 1)
done = false
while !done do
now = Time.now
if now > ready then
itunes = WIN32OLE.new('iTunes.Application')
if itunes then
print "Update started\n"
itunes.UpdatePodcastFeeds
sleep 30 # waits 30 secs
itunes.Quit
print "shutdown...\n"
done=true
end
else
print "Not so fast boy..." + now.to_s() + "\n"
sleep(30) # waits for 30 secs
end
end
While testing I noted that any debug output I print shows up in a
window after the applicaiton has quit. I don't know why it is
happening, because obviously I want script to print messages to see
its activity. Any help appreciated.
Thanks
