@stefan, thanks for the hackery method =) @kas, i thought i tried that, but i might have gotten confused at the "spork ~ my_fun() @=> my_shred;" line the online documentation says "spork ~ my_fun() => Shred @ my_shred;" without declaring my_shred first, and this gives syntax errors. I was trying to do the my_shred.exit(); thing, but was getting syntax errors. i didn't save what i was working on, so i can't post it, but i'll try it this way when i get a chance. thanks -k On Mon, Mar 17, 2008 at 4:02 AM, Kassen wrote:

Doesn't this effectively happen if the method executing in the shred exits? LIke this:

Yes, it does, and that's one way. Another is to use the "Machine" device. For example "Machine.remove(15);" will remove the shred with id 15 (see chuck --status for id numbers). Note that that spork operations will return the id of the new shred as a int.

Also possible; -------------------------------------------------- //create a shred reference with a name Shred my_shred;

//assign a bit of running code to it spork ~ my_fun() @=> my_shred;

//other stuff happens 5::minute => now;

//this is really quite readable compared to other options. my_shred.exit(); -----------------------------------------

Hope that helps, Kas.
