I have a long running, compute and disk intensive task that needs to run nightly on Window Server 2008; my Framework of choice is .NET 3.5 sp1. There's a chance this task could fail too for any number of reasons (i.e. lack of disk space) and I'd like to make sure errors are handled & reported reasonably. Also, this task would require p...

I'm studying Erlang's process model at the moment.

Of course the running of several VM's require that the ap...

Having just created a SQL Agent Job I thought it would be handy to be able to write a little bit of information into the job's history, in case I wanted to check it later. I was using VBScript in this instance, and noted that I could use the Error object to record info in the history, for example: Err.Raise 999, "The code died" If yo...

Currently we are using cron strings for setting Quartz jobs in our project. But it seems to be either overkill or little confusing to set by a admin guy who is not a developer. So, we try to use a simple string like this, each 1 seconds on MonTueWedThuFri between 00:01 and 23:59 Is there any existing frameworks (or in Quartz) I will b...

However lookin...
