NetRexx scheduler didn't 'wake up' / froze ...

Michael (maillists) Dag

Hi!

I have written a piece of scheduling code that executes at given times and then when the last give time is done, sleeps until the end of day, skips to the next day and re-starts the schedule…

For the first time yesterday two separate command windows on Windows 10 running this scheduler froze or didn’t wake up passing from 24th of June to 25th of June…

 

Since this happened on both separate programs running in different command windows I find it a bit suspicious…

my PC did not freeze as other programs were running fine. The only way to unfreeze was to kill using Crtl+C… No major problem there but I don’t like loose suspicious ends…

 

Could I have ‘unfrozen’ these programs in another way to continue normally?

Is there something odd in my code?

Is there something special about going from 24th of June to 25th of June?

 

Screen output and relevant code below… any comments suggestions are welcome!

Output on Screen:

2020-06-23 16:00:00 Sleeping until End of Day

2020-06-23 23:59:59 Passing End of Day on 23 jun 2020

2020-06-24 00:00:02 It's a new day on     24 jun 2020

2020-06-24 00:00:02 Sleeping until 09:00

File sent to queue   XYZ on QueueManager QMXYZ

2020-06-24 09:00:00 Sleeping until 12:00

File sent to queue   XYZ on QueueManager QMXYZ

2020-06-24 12:00:00 Sleeping until 16:00

File sent to queue   XYZ on QueueManager QMXYZ

2020-06-24 16:00:00 Sleeping until End of Day

 

 

Part that skips the end of day:

 

        EndOfDay = 23*60*60+59*60+59

     

        Now_Timer = time_HHmmSS.format(date())

        parse Now_Timer HH':'mm':'ss

        Now_Timer = HH*60*60+mm*60+ss

        If EndOfDay-Now_Timer > 0 Then Do

          Say date_YYYY_MM_DD.format(date()) time_HHmmSS.format(date())' Sleeping until End of Day' --\r\-' -- , 'EndOfDay-Now_Timer' Seconds        \r\-' 

          Loop While EndOfDay-Now_Timer > 0

            If EndOfDay-Now_Timer > 300 Then Thread.sleep((300)*1000)          /* Sleep 5 minutes */

            Else Do

              Thread.sleep((EndOfDay-Now_Timer)*1000)          /* wait for n_timer milliseconds */

            End

            Now_Timer = time_HHmmSS.format(date())

            parse Now_Timer HH':'mm':'ss

            Now_Timer = HH*60*60+mm*60+ss

          End

        End

        If EndOfDay-Now_Timer = 0 Then Do

          Say date_YYYY_MM_DD.format(date()) time_HHmmSS.format(date())' Passing End of Day on 'date_ddMMMYYYY.format(Date())

          Thread.sleep((3)*1000)          /* wait for n_timer milliseconds */

          Say date_YYYY_MM_DD.format(date()) time_HHmmSS.format(date())' It''s a new day on     'date_ddMMMYYYY.format(Date())

        End

If it had been 30 June then Leap Seconds would spring to mind.  But since it wasn't, I'd suspect something slowed your machine at that time so the timer overshot or undershot by 1 so your sleep was for -1000 millisecs, which I suspect sleep() would treat as an unsigned int and hence a very large positive number?

Thanks! Will let it run again and see if the problem happens again… if it does I will extend the margin of 3 seconds to 5 and make EndofDay not 23:59:59 but 23:59:57
