Re^4: Synchronizing Multiple System Processes

Just remove that & if you have it.

No. I don't have &.

all I can say with reasonable certainity is that output.txt does not exist.

Yes it is true. But it is because script1.pl hasn't yet finished in creating output.txt

If script1.pl returned without having finished creating output.txt, then it didn't create that file. What happens if you explicitly close the filehandle for `output.txt` in `script1.pl`? `close OUT or die "Can't close filehandle OUT properly: $!\n";` [download] --shmem _($_=" "x(1<<5)."?\n".q·/)Oo.
