Greetings,
I wish to use the fork() function on one of my scripts. I would like more
clarity on the way it works.
Take for instance the ff code:
Sub mysub
{
while (<THATFILE>)
If ($_ eq "SCANME")
{
fork()
system("nessus" "thathost");
print "Forked!\n";
}
Else
{
fork()
system("nmap", "-sS", "-T", "insane", "mynetwork")
print "Forked on else\n";
}
close THATFILE;
}
What I would like to know when I do the fork on the if statement, does the
child just do the stuff under if block & exit??
What happens exactly? Is this the right way of doing this?
