First, thank you, Ramona, for implementing 'mqueue', and the development team more generally. I got away from 'acc' over the weekend and how use mqueue + rtimer + sqlops for asynchronous CDR logging. Classy! The question is, there a clean, fast way of checking whether there are more items left in the queue to consume? I would have thought mq_fetch() would return when there's nothing else left in the queue, but it doesn't; instead, it throws the script into an infinite loop. :-) So, I am using: route[RECORD_CONSUMER] { while(mq_fetch("somequeue")) { if(! defined $mqk(somequeue)) break; # Do things with $mqk(...) and $mqv(...) } } Is 'defined' a fast-acting operator within route script? Is there a better way? -- Alex Balashov - Principal Evariste Systems LLC 1170 Peachtree Street 12th Floor, Suite 1200 Atlanta, GA 30309 Tel: +1-678-954-0670 Fax: +1-404-961-1892 Web: http://www.evaristesys.com/
