Running hciprocstatus from TCL Script

[Robert Milfajt]

I wanted to be able to run hciprocstatus, actually poll the monitor daemon from a TCL script.  After reading the hciprocstatus TCL code, I found this bunch of code:

Code:

   after 30000 serverTimeOut

   if { [catch {makeStatusServerConn $initcmd} msg] } {
       puts stderr “Unable to contact hcimonitord: $msgn”
       exit 69                         ;# EX_UNAVAILABLE
   }

Can I use the makeStatusServerConn call from my TCL script?  I am assuming I would need to set the serverTimeOut variable too.

Thanks in advance for any help,

So I figured out this complex event processing that connects to the monitor daemon and executes a command defined within the calling TCL proc.  Also figured out the use of the after command to process a timeout if the daemon does not respond.  This is cool stuff, and brings me back to my college days with concurrent processing, etc.

Anyhow, my question is:  Can I use tihs call in future versions of Clovelreaf?

I want to know if this methodology for polling the monitor daemon is going to change in the next several versions of the product.  I am at 5.5 rev1, and we are planning an upgrade to either 5.7 or 5.8 by the end of the calendar year.

Thanks,

Bob
