# concurrent.pl # Check start time. for my $n (1..$DO_TRIES) { print qq{Doing # [$n] PID [$$]\n}; my $pid = fork(); if ($pid == 0) { print qq{Child [$$] running command.\n}; exec(qq{echo '$query' | $MYSQL $DATABASE > /dev/null}); } } # Check end time # Do some math and make a report. --- Rodney Broom President, R.Broom Consulting http://www.rbroom.com/ sql --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
