All,
Once again I am back to my old tricks. I'm working on a database rebuild script that will shutdown the old database, create a new database file, start the old database as an engine only, then unload the old database and reload into the new database.
My problem is where I have noted. Once the old database is started it will not move to the next line of code until the database is stopped. So, my question is this:
How do I get the script to move to the next line of code? Is there something I'm missing when I use the "system" fucntion?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Bobby Curtis

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
