Reloading/restarting plugins/PRISM

Sat 23 Jul 2011, 12:29

Hi!

I was wondering if it's possible to reload all plugins via a plugin?

Basically what I need is to be able to re-upload plugin files to the PRISM host via FTP, and be able to restart PRISM or the plugin itself for the changes to take place.

Is this possible?

Thanks

I ediited the BAT file to be an endless loop, then just exit; the script. It will restart PRISM and of course include the new version of the plugin(s)

What exactly did you change in the bat file?

Here's mine:

@echo off
php -e PHPInSimMod.php %1 %2
pause

Thanks in advance!

@echo off
:START
php -e PHPInSimMod.php %1 %2
GOTO :START

You can also write a small .NET app to manage/restart your PRISM program. You can do a lot of process management stuff on Windows with .NET, such as redirect PHP errors to your .NET app for logging. Check the Process docs.

using System.Diagnostics;

class Program {
    static void Main() {
        string path = @"X:\Path\To\PRISM.bat";

        while (true) {
            using (Process prism = Process.Start(path)) {
                prism.WaitForExit();
            }
        }
    }
}

The only thing PRISM needs a wrapper for, the only thing it can't do on it's own, is colors within the console. That's the only time I would really consider using C# or anything .NET for this project.

The suggestion I was making was for Povo, because he is also a .NET programmer, not for PRISM itself.

Thanks for the help guys.

I will probably use the batch file way since I'm lazy to make another extra application :P

Really loving PRISM now
