The beginner shines in me...
For reaping children, I was thinking of send a signal to the entire group. The gist is: I want to attach a child to a FIFO, then have the parent start other processes that read from the FIFO. The readers must be tricked into thinking they are reading from files. So, I thought I'd fork a sub for the FIFO, and have the parent continue on. Is there a better solution? -R On Mon, 1 Apr 2002, drieux wrote: > > assuming that you do this, how are you planning to > reap the child?????? > > On Monday, April 1, 2002, at 11:42 , Rob Lee wrote: > > > > > I'd like to fork my program without waiting for the child to exit. > > > > My child will be a sub with an infinite loop, so I'd like the parent to > > continue on it's merry way. > > > > Solutions? > > -R > > > > > > -- > > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > > > > > > ciao > drieux > > --- > -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
