Re: [Ganymede Help] Date Comparision

| Hi Jon,

Okay, that's good to know.  How are you planning on doing a full
rebuild if you only look at objects which have changed from the last
build?  Is your external build script going to somehow integrate the
old DNS information from the last build with the limited amount of
information you want the builder task to write out?  That could be a
more difficult problem than simply doing a full rebuild.

Could you describe in detail how you imagine the build process will
work?

| have a problem here , i always get the value of oldLastRunTime as null, 

Hm.  oldLastRunTime will be null the first time a builder task runs
after server start up, but it should not be null after that.

| but when i log in to the server it shows me this scheduled event and 
| the date and time of its last occurence. Can you tell me why??

Again, I think it should only be null the first time your builder task
is run, and not after that.  After the first build, oldLastRunTime
should always be set before builderPhase1() is called.

| Thanks for all of your help....
