Stopping the execution of a script from another script

[krambriw]

Hello,

I try to stop a running script from another script but no success.

Start the first script and when it is running/sleeping, start the second script.

Sample below
Best regards, Walter

First script

Code: Select all

eg.globals.StopTheScript = False

ind = 1
while ind < 5:
    if eg.globals.StopTheScript == True:
        eg.Exit()
    remain = int(time.strftime("%S", time.localtime()))
    if remain > 30:
        remain = remain - 30
    print 30-remain
    time.sleep(30-remain)
    ind += 1
 

The second script

Code: Select all

eg.globals.StopTheScript = True
eg.Exit()

The macros and therefore the two scripts will not run simultaneously. EG will run each macro after an other.
You have to use threads to run multiple scripts in time shared way.
