Hi Monks, I am using P:FM to perform some large database query and update process. I have observed that my parent process is dying before all the child processes are finished. For example, if I create 10 child processes, it is usually the case that parent process automatically dies after 8 child processes are finished but 2 are still active (got the stat from 'ps' ... ). what might be the reason of early termination of parents? I have used the standard P:FM format: 

my $pm=new Parallel::ForkManager($tc-1);    
for (my $c=1;$c<$tc;$c++){
    
    $pm->start and next;
    my $child_dbh = $dbh->clone();
   $dbh->{InactiveDestroy} = 1;
....

$child_dbh->disconnect or die("Couldn't disconnect");
    $pm->finish;
    }
$pm->wait_all_children;

Any ideas?
