Hi all,
I need to run 20 distinct perl programs in 20 distinct
shells. The programs write to some files but also
print to the standard output so I'd like to have 20
terminals open simultaneously to check various
messages printed by the programs. One obvious solution
is to open 20 different terminals and launch every
program in its own shell. Is there a way I could write
a program that does this for me?
I tried using the system function but all system calls
would execute sequentially and this is not what I
want.
Then I tried to open a different shell for each
program but I got a "perl can't execute binary file",
then I used some switches without knowing exactly what
they do ( -s and -h) and obviously it did not work.
Again, I need the 20 programs to execute independently
and simultaneosly.
Anybody any ideas? Thanks,
Dan
