Hello everyone, I have a very general question that I can't seem to find an answer to. I have a perl script that monitors network servers using WMI. I have the actual checks in a flat config files and when I startup the perl script it reads in each line of the config file and and puts each check in a forked process. Each forked process then sleeps for a period of time and then wakes up runs the the check and repeats. This period of time can be as long as an hour or as short as every 10 seconds. Right now I have my script running as a win32::daemon service...now onto the real problem. If I add/edit/delete a check in the flat config file, I need to restart the perl script, this is where my problem is. I have a button on a webpage that says "restart", this restart sends a "stop" message to the Service Mangaer. I then have a snippet of code that runs whenever a forked process is about to wake up...this checks to see if the Service Manager has been sent a shutdown command...if so then I stop and start the script. This all works fine, but it may take up to an hour for my snippet of code to run, because the script only runs when a forked process wakes up. I should also mention that it takes about 2 minutes for the win32::daemon to stop the service, which I feel is way to long and I can't figure out why it is taking so long to cleanup all the forked processes. I would like to hear if anyone has any ideas on a better way for me to load the changes that happen to the flat config files.
Sorry for being long winded.... Thanks in advance -- Ken __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
