in thread How to tell a child what to do?
A: You (as a designer) don't know.
Anyhoo, some tasks may take forever, thus you need to keep it running indefinitely.
I don't know how launching a child only when task is ready is going to help, you still need to tell your newborn child what kind of tasks you prepared for them ( ie, pass some argument, I would go for $ARGV[], this seems simplest ).
