[MapServer-users] How to check if file is ready before loading with MAP file?

[Carlos Neves (LREC)]

Hi List,

I have Mapserver running loading heavy Geotiffs files. I run a periodic 
background C script to make dynamic geotiffs files but sometimes the 
Geotiff files are not  ready (they are still in building process)  when 
Mapserver load it and stops displays maps.

In PHP I can check that with "md5_file" function  comparing the two 
files.  I'm considering if there is any trick to do it with MAP files 
using a command like: "IF geotiff file not exist or not ready load another"


Any ideas would be appreciated.

Best Regards,

Carlos
