Hello , I have process that picks up multiple files from a directory forks child processes and each child process works on a batch of files and finishes the task I am thinking of this
Parent process finds all files in jobs directory , divide tasks into $MAXCHILD processes but not exceeding $MAXBATCHSIZE per child The problem is I cannot wait for all child processes to finish , because some tasks may take longer than others , so they should not block other processes. If I dont wait for the child processes then the parent would pickup the same job which is already assigned in the previous loop I am not sure what is the best way. Can someone pls give me some ideas -- Thanks Ram <http://www.netcore.co.in/> n <http://pragatee.com>
