in reply to Re: Reminder program in thread Reminder program
well the way i've thought it up, the scripts aren't supposed to close at all.. they:
print "go wash your car";
for (;;){
sleep 1209600;
print "go wash your car";
}
#instead of "go wash your car", its `cat sched.lst`
and there is 4 scripts like this that get kicked off within the main script; if possible i want to execute simulatanously.

The only way you can pull that off is by forking your scripts.
Otherwise they will hang the calling script.
Of course there are terminal issues, so make sure all the scripts
are run in the background, otherwise there is only one script
that can print. Also mind you the buffering of your OS.
It is probably better to keep it all in one script.
