Trigger the Latch

This page controls a small program, running in a remote computer and stopping execution of scripts. By entering the secret, you will close this program in the remote computer, and resume script execution.



Note that the password is transmitted quite securely as a salted hash.

Latch Triggered

The latch has been triggered, and is not running anymore, unless the owner of the remote computer restarted it (in that case refresh this page).

About

This page controls a small program, running in a remote computer and stopping execution of scripts. By entering the secret, you will close this program in the remote computer, and resume script execution. In windows, you can use it as follows: 

:loop

HTTP_Latch.exe --password-file myPass.txt
rem the latch runs and waits for being
rem triggered by entering password
rem in a HTML form

rem run your delayed calculation

goto loop
rem if appropriate, start the latch again

Or if you are using linux, you would do something like: 

#!/bin/sh
while [ 1 ]
do
    http_latch -pf /usr/home/myPass.txt
    # the latch runs and waits for being
    # triggered by entering password
    # in a HTML form

    # run your delayed calculation
done

Note that in the above scripts, myPass.txt is a plain-text file with a predefined password, at the first line. The rest of the file is ignored. Note that this is used to avoid passing password by commandline, as the process is expected to run for extended periods of time.
