bitcoind to react to when transaction is received

[ehmdjii]

hello,
i would like my bitcoind daemon to do something as soon as a transaction is received.

basically it should execute a mysql query where i need the amount as well as the address on which it was received.

how can i do that? thanks!

There is currently no way to do it as you described.

You can a command every x minutes and execute the rpc command "listtransactions".
Check the wiki for more information.

Look for blkmond; it's a simple Python script that watches the Bitcoin network and can be customized to run an external program when a transaction is received.

Is it possible to trigger already with 0 confirmations? Or only with new blocks coming in, so at least 1 confirmation? (Or do i still have a totally wrong understanding of how this works  )

That's a job for cron, isn't it?

That's what I said. It sees transactions "live" as they come in. Get hacking
