$SIG{HUP} = \&sighup_handler; $SIG{TERM} = \&sigterm_handler; #----------------------------- MAIN ---------------------------- print "I am the only process.\n"; my @children_pids; for my $count (1..3){ my $child_pid = fork(); print "PID: $child_pid \n"; if ($child_pid) { # If I have a child PID, then I must be the + parent push @children_pids, $child_pid; } else { # I am the child my $Child_PID = $$; print "CHILD's PID is: $Child_PID \n"; #doing something # writing into DB sleep $wait_time; } } print "\n ----- Main DB ---- \n"; foreach my $child (@children_pids) { print "Parent: Waiting on $child\n"; #check DB stats #send kill signal waitpid($child, 0); }
