Hi! There is within Squeak some way for perfoming some operation at start-time. Here is a short example: -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Object subclass: #MyGreatLauncher instanceVariableNames: '' classVariableNames: '' poolDictionaries: '' category: 'MyGreatLauncher' AutoStart addLauncher: MyGreatLauncher MyGreatLauncher compile: 'parameters: aDictionary Transcript show: aDictionary printString; cr'. MyGreatLauncher compile: 'startUp Transcript show: ''I am launched from startup!!!!'''. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Execute line by line, then save the image. But be careful, when I tested it, it seems the startUp method is called twice...

Have a look at ObjectMemory class>>returnFromSnapshotWithPriority:. Adriaan.

In OS X applications are basically folder that have a certain structure. Right-click on the VisualWorks VM in the finder and hit 'Show Package Contents'. There are several things you might wanna look at: * /Contents/Info.plist - an XML configuration file telling about what and how to run the application * /Contents/MacOS - the directory with the real executable files, it should be also possible to add a script in there, i think * /Contents/Resrouces - you can put other file (like the image and the sources) in there For details have a look at the Apple developer documentation. Hope this gives you some pointers anyway. Cheers, Lukas -- Lukas Renggli http://renggli.freezope.org

Hi, I am having some trouble with my SmallWiki. server _ SWKom startOn: 8888. storage _ SWImageStorage new. storage delay: 3 * 60. server storage: storage. When the delay expires, it stores a snapshot as expected but the VM freezes up. There is some problem with the image it saves. It is not runnable. However eveything seems to work properly if I execute: server storage snapshot. before the delay expires. I can do this repeatedly, but if it is done via the delay it hoses the image. Has anyone else experienced this? I would appreciate any suggestions. Thanks, Maurice

How do I tell what version of SmallWiki I've got loaded? What was the cause of the image hang? Can SWImageStorage be relied upon? As I read the above, there is some implication that as long as I do a 'server storage snapshot' one time before the delay expires, then afterwards everything is OK? Or will the image hang with the next expirary? Nevin -- Nevin Pratt Bountiful Baby http://www.bountifulbaby.com The Most Complete Reborn Supply Store On The Web! (801) 992-3137

Hi Chris, Thanks for looking into this. And a belated thanks for fixing the SWResource bug. Maurice On Mar 18, 2004, at 13:26, Chris Burkert wrote:
