Handshake mechanism in perl

t-rex has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

i am working for a project where i have implemented concurrent server , now i need to take back logs 9 in a hand shake mechanism without except module) the flow of my code is :

main.pl
{
#try connecting to the server socket
System(run perl_client.pl) or die “couldn’t run perl client.pl”
If (fails)
{
Transfer files on server machine via scp
Run server.pl
Socket established
Try connecting again to the server socket from client, (this time it w
+ill connect)
}

My doubt now is how do I know whether everything is running , this code is a part of one big automation so I can’t use std libraries, maybe a log file , I know how to open and write to a file but a robust handshake mechanism is what I desire , anyone has any ideas for the same.

You'll need to reveal more code, otherwise we can't see what the easiest way is to put in some process monitoring and control. Meanwhile I suggest you (re-)read the process control section of the big camel book. ( Update: more precisely: Programming Perl, chapter 15, interprocess communication) One world, one people	[reply]

Is this a continuation of the problem you've been working in previous posts? That information would be very useful. But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 5:8 (NASB)	[reply]
