Hi all,<br>
<br>
I'm writing a simple client / server application, that uses a small<br>
protocol to dialog.<br>
<br>
I can't find in documentation any exemple that would correspond to what my<br>
client is supposed to do.<br>
<br>
Here is the basics :<br>
<br>
every X seconds, call a function that check a file<br>
if file is different, connect to server<br>
<br>
When the client is connected, it immediatly sends data to server, using<br>
the connectionMade method.<br>
<br>
Do I need to use while(1) loop or loopingCall ? What is the best way to<br>
write a daemon that connect to a server every X seconds ?<br>
<br>
Many thanks.<br>

Use loopingCall (or even callLater, if you want).<br><br>Here's an example: <a href="http://www.saltycrane.com/blog/2008/10/running-functions-periodically-using-twisteds-loopingcall/">http://www.saltycrane.com/blog/2008/10/running-functions-periodically-using-twisteds-loopingcall/</a><br>
