Stop Function From executing after condition is met
<p>My html page fires off 2 php scripts, one to perform a task and another to poll a log file and show results on the html page.  After the 'updatestock.php' has finished how do I stop the getStatus() process?</p>

<pre><code>  &lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;
    $(function() {
        startProcess();
        getStatus();

    });

    function startProcess() {

      $("#done").load('updatestock.php');

    }

    function getStatus() {

      $("#status").load('getstatus.php');
        setTimeout("getStatus()",2000);

    }

    &lt;/script&gt;
</code></pre>
