qex Posted May 21, 2004 Posted May 21, 2004 This is a design question that I am not really sure how to proceed with. How do you update a program via some kind of communication(internet, modem,etc.) that is at a remote site running. I've thought of a couple of ways for example splitting the main app from the communications portion so the communications portion can close down the main app update the files that are in use and restart the app. But then I'm still stuck with the problem of what if I need to update the communications program. Should I create a "watcher" program that starts all of the program pieces and if it sees one shutdown it restarts it or if it sees a flag of somekind that says there is an update it shuts down the app and restarts it. I'm sure many of you out there have this same problem... what kind of solutions are you using. Quote
