Good Morning All: I am using perl on a Sun Solaris server to do data transfer with outside companies. With one of the companies I exchange data with, the files must be sent in a particular order. What I want to do is when the last file in the chain is received on my server it will kick-off automated processing.
The automated processing will begin encrypting the files and staging them to be send to our trading partner. As processing is completed on one file, I want the perl script that is running to kick off a successor job (which will be the same perl script with different parms) to process the next file in the chain. This process need not return to the script which called it. I do however what the "spawning" script to run to completion. Did that make any sense? I've tried system which will wait until the called process completes before continuing. (Don't want that) I've tried exec which seems to put the calling process into limbo or end the process? (Don't want that either) Anybody got any ideas? Thanks Michael J.
