Hi All, I am writing a daemon to kill all slow queries. My daemon code is shown below. 
sub Daemonize() {

my $pid;
$pid=fork();
if(! defined($pid) ){
#Forking Failed, we exit at this point
die("forking failed\n");
exit(1);
}
if ($pid>0) {
print LOG "Forking Success. Child PID: $pid \n";
exit();
}

$|=1;

print LOG "Child Process Executing... \n";
setsid();
chdir('/');
umask(0);

close(STDIN) ;
close(STDOUT) ;
close(STDERR) ;
}

I have opened the file handle LOG before calling daemonize and, after the deamonize, i have one more function to do the slow query kill. I am not able to view any of the log messages i am writing from the child process in LOG. also query killing is not happening. I can see the child pid running when checked with ps. Please help me. Shammi

In reply to forked child process is not able to access the file handle by shammi000
