5haun,

All was GREAT and worked SURPRISINGLY WELL, until a couple of the users introduced the requirement to be able to thread in the parent script and then pass messages to the broker. That is when I discovered the threads of the parent, will hang when they try to send a message to the broker...

Sounds like your 'user(s)' are 'programmers'.

So what specific benefit does your 'user(s)' get from 'thread in the parent script' other than your 'user(s)' thinking that this would be 'cool'.

Maybe your 'user(s)' have set you up to fail? Can they do it?

Regards...Ed
