Count 24houres with QDate

ODБOï

Hi,
I want to restart my app every 24hs.
startDate is QDate::currentDate when app starts.
Do you think this works ?
Please tell me how you would test this

//this is called every 3 seconds in the app
        QDate dt = startDate;
        if(dt.addDays(1)<QDate::currentDate()){ 
            QTimer::singleShot(2000, this, [&](){
                qApp->quit();
                QProcess::startDetached(qApp->arguments()[0], qApp->arguments());    
            });
        }

qApp->quit();
QProcess::startDetached(qApp->arguments()[0], qApp->arguments());

you should swap these two lines.

"Please tell me how you would test this" - well, set the timeout to, for example 1min, and see whether it restarts or not.

Witch timeout ?

The way you implement it currently can be simplified. Use a QTimer with a timeout of 24h, instead of executing the code above every 3sec.

That code needs to be executed anyway for something else thats why i wanted to do the test here.
But Timer with 24h timeout is good also
Thank you

Hi,

On what OS are you doing that ? Because from the looks of it, it would rather be a task for something like cron.
