Nothing in particular; I just needed it to get the definition of sleepy to the subkernels.

I'm using Windows7 with Mathematica 10.0 so I can't directly replicate your results with your code. What happens when you omit DistributeDefinitions[] ? | |
| May 3, 2017 at 9:05 | comment | added | Kab | Thanks for your comment. I had to wait for the problem to occur. I wrapped my program call in TimeConstrained but with no effect. Within the ParrallelDo code I write a comment in a file, have the TimeContrained[Run...] line and write another comment. It's now stuck for way longer than the time limit, the external program task is finished but second comment hasn't been written. To hide the run I used: shell=NETLink'CreateCOMObject["Wscript.shell"]; shell@run[cmd,0,True] with cmd being a string containing the program name with parameters. Any ideas? | |
