The problem I have is that it occassionally gets stuck in one of the inner while loops (requiring a Ctrol-C from me). I'm not sure why. Anyway, the new approach I am outlining here is an attempt to make the program more robust. How about you make your program more robust by finding the bug? I can't imagine what makes you think that adding more `while` loops will prevent an infinite loop. Please don't take code that I've given you, c&p mangle it, then post to ask how to make it work in a new question. It works by not mangling it in the first place.	[reply] [d/l]

Okay... setting aside, for the moment, the definition of Distributed computing, how do you expect adding nested `while` loops to help you with the problem of becoming stuck inside of one? Or... what logical condition(s) are you testing, to enable yourself to exit these multiple `while`s? planetscape	[reply] [d/l] [select]
