Ruby

i thought i put enough exception handlers for the prog to continue
after failure. why does it stop
require ‘imDaveAlerts’
require “timeoutx”

while(true)
puts Time.now
begin
TimeoutX.timeout(15){
begin
a=DaveAlerts.new
a.doAlerts()
rescue => detail
print detail.backtrace.join("\n")
end
}
rescue => detail
print detail.backtrace.join("\n")
end
sleep(5)
end

`wait’: execution expired (TimeoutX::Error)

If no exception class is specified, rescue only rescues exceptions
derived
from StandardError, which TimeoutX::Error is not. If you want to rescue
all
exceptions, you need to explicitly write

rescue Exception

I hope this helps
