Re^3: Opening multiple forking servers

Two things.

I think you mean for your system call to be inside the foreach loop.
Your prefork_server.pl never exits. It sits in the foreground and manages the children doing the work.

A simple way to get many servers would be to add '&' to the end of your $cmd. That way, the shell will fork and execute prefork_server.pl and return immediately (so you can then spawn the next prefork_server.pl).

I've updated the code with the system() in the loop, I was troubleshooting and forgot it was there when I posted. I've added & to try and background the process, but it still hangs on the first server.	[reply]
