Haskell Yesod Running a Handler at a specific Day of Week and at a specific Time - email

I will create a Handler that, when called, it will send HTML reports to my customer emails, I would like to know the cleanest way to schedule it, for instance, Friday at 08:00AM. I can use Linux crontab to call a URL at a specific time, but it will need to be exposed... (Even though I will make it available to myself to send reports whenever I want, at least in the beginning)

Here's what I would do:
main = do
forkIO . forever $ do
waitUntilFridayAt0800
sendOutReports
waitUntilItIsNotFridayAt0800JustToBeSafe
startYesod

Dash - Run callback in server side

Good morning,
I have created a callback in Dash that makes the job of a scheduler.
Every 10 minutes (with the help of an interval component), my callback is running to fetch the data from a server and to update the csv file that I use in my app.
The problem is that my callback is called only when I have the webpage opened. As soon as I close the page, the scheduler stops and runs again when I open the page again.
As the data process of updating data can be long sometimes, I want the scheduler to always run and fetch the data every 10 minutes.
I assume that a callback is a client side process right? So how can I make it run in server side?
Thank you,
Dash is probably not the right solution for this. I think it would make more sense to set up the Python code you need for this job in a simple .py script file, and set a cron job to run that script every 10 min.
Thank you #coralvanda for the help.
I finally did a python script in my container A that calls the container B every 10 minutes. The container B is fetching the data.
It makes the job.
import schedule
import time
import docker
def worker_restart():
client = docker.from_env()
container = client.containers.get('container_worker')
container.restart()
schedule.every(10).minutes.do(worker_restart)
while True:
schedule.run_pending()
time.sleep(1)

Trouble with agent state chart

I'm trying to create an agent statechart where a transition should happen every day at 4 pm (except weekends).
I have already tried:
1. a conditional transition (condition: getHourOfDay() == 16)
2: A timeout transition that will "reinsert" my agent into the chart every 1 s and check if time = 16.
My code is still not running, does anyone have any idea how to solve it?
This is my statechart view. Customer is a single resource that is supposed to "get" the products out of my stock everyday at 4pm. It is supposed to happen in the "Active" state.
I have set a timeout transition (from Active-Active) that runs every 1s.
Inside my "Active" state in the "entrance action" i wrote my code to check if it is 4 pm and run my action if so.
I thought since i set a timeout transition it would check my condition every 1s, but apparently it is not working.
Your agent does not enter the Active state via an internal transition.
Redraw the transition to actually go out of the Active state and then enter it again as below:
Don't use condition-based transitions, for performance reasons. In your case, it also never triggers because it is only evaluated when something happens in the model. Incidentally, that is not the case at 4pm.
re your timeout approach: Why would you "reinsert" your agent into its own statechart? Not sure I understand...
Why not set up a schedule or event with your recurrence requirement and make it send a message to the statechart: stateChart.fireEvent("trigger!");. In your statechart, add a message-based transition that waits for this message. This will work.
Be careful to understand the difference between the Statechart.fireEvent() and the Statechart.receiveMessage() functions, though.
PS: and agree with Felipe: please start using SOF the way it is meant, i.e. also mark replies as solved. It helps us but also future users to quickly find solutions :-) cheers

How to make a jenkins call to retrieve the job details every 'X' minutes in meteor?

What I'm up to is to get the jenkins job details and store it in mongo DB every "X" minutes. I have to make an HTTP.call(JenkinsURL) which I know how to do. My problem is calling it for specific intervals.
buildDetails=HTTP.call('GET',buildURL);
buildURL has the Jenkins job URL. I found this link which gives an overview of the code for my problem, but I don't know how and where i should place these code to get it working. I tried all possibility.
Is there any method in meteor which can make this possible to run a specific code to be run for every X min??
Is there any method in meteor which can make this possible to run a specific code to be run for every X min??
Yes, there is.
Meteor.setInterval that can be used to do something repetitively every X interval of time.
You can put your HTTP call within it on the server. Eg:
Meteor.startup({function(){
var timerID = Meteor.setInterval(function(){
buildDetails=HTTP.call('GET',buildURL);
// and other things
}, 60000) //60000ms = 1 min
}
});
When you want to stop the timer function, simply call Meteor.clearInterval
Meteor.clearInterval(timerID);

How to call the controller task on each 1 min interval

I have created task on controller and there is loop which is loading for 100 times.
Now I want to load it for 25 times and pause that loop for 1 min and after that it will execute next 25 items same for next 25.
I have checked it with sleep but its not working.
Can you please advise me if is there any way on plugin event or any other method.
Thanks
This is actually unrelated to Joomla! Since you're creating a long running process you need to start it with something else than a browser. A CRON job is a good idea here if you want to execute this operation multiple times. Otherwise it can run via command line. Make sure the max_execution time setting of PHP does not cause any trouble.
If you still need this within Joomla please have a look at the CLI documentation.

Perl CGI gets parameters from a different request to the current URL

This is a weird one. :)
I have a script running under Apache 1.3, with Apache::PerlRun option of mod_perl. It uses the standard CGI.pm module. It's a regularly accessed script on a busy server, accessed over https.
The URL is typically something like...
/script.pl?action=edit&id=47049
Which is then brought into Perl the usual way...
my $action = $cgi->param("action");
my $id = $cgi->param("id");
This has been working successfully for a couple of years. However we started getting support requests this week from our customers who were accessing this script and getting blank pages. We already had a line like the following that put the current URL into a form we use for customers to report an issue about a page...
$cgi->url(-query => 1);
And when we view source of the page, the result of that command is the same URL, but with an entirely different query string.
/script.pl?action=login&user=foo&password=bar
A query string that we recognise as being from a totally different script elsewhere on our system.
However crazy it sounds, it seems that when users are accessing a URL with a query string, the query string that the script is seeing is one from a previous request on another script. Of course the script can't handle that action and outputs nothing.
We have some automated test scripts running to see how often this happens, and it's not every time. To throw some extra confusion into the mix, after an Apache restart, the problem seems to initially disappear completely only to come back later. So whatever is causing it is somehow relieved by a restart, but we can't see how Apache can possibly take the request from one user and mix it up with another.
This, it appears, is an interesting combination of Apache 1.3, mod_perl 1.31, CGI.pm and Apache::GTopLimit.
A bug was logged against CGI.pm in May last year: RT #57184
Which also references CGI.pm params not being cleared?
CGI.pm registers a cleanup handler in order to cleanup all of it's cache.... (line 360)
$r->register_cleanup(\&CGI::_reset_globals);
Apache::GTopLimit (like Apache::SizeLimit mentioned in the bug report) also has a handler like this:
$r->post_connection(\&exit_if_too_big) if $r->is_main;
In pre mod_perl 1.31, post_connection and register_cleanup appears to push onto the stack, while in 1.31 it appears as if the GTopLimit one clobbers the CGI.pm entry. So if your GTopLimit function fires because the Apache process has got to large, then CGI.pm won't be cleaned up, leaving it open to returning the same parameters the next time you use it.
The solution seems to be to change line 360 of CGI.pm to;
$r->push_handlers( 'PerlCleanupHandler', \&CGI::_reset_globals);
Which explicitly pushes the handler onto the list.
Our restart of Apache temporarily resolved the problem because it reduced the size of all the processes and gave GTopLimit no reason to fire.
And we assume it has appeared over the past few weeks because we have increased the size of the Apache process either through new developments which included something that wasn't before.
All tests so far point to this being the issue, so fingers crossed it is!
