in reply to Server of servers

What do you mean by "a non TCP server"? Can you give an example?

    Usualy the server concept is related to network (TCP/IP or UDP). What I would like is a Perl script (module) what after start-up remain resident and if it configured starts an HTTP server and an FTP server.
      You mean you want just a resident program that upon some kind of trigger starts a HTTP server and FTP server?

        I'm going to assume he's going to answer you yes, and recommend monit.
