Re: Calling functions

You may want to post the code to your script. If sub split_logfile{} doesnt do much, then it may be run without you even noticing. Unless you're printing something during that sub.

Try something like this... (In case you havent already):

sub split_logfile(){
     print "In sub split_logfile\n";
}
sub gen_stats(){
     print "In sub gen_stats\n";
}
sub compress_logs(){
     print "In sub compress_logs\n";
}
sub clean_up(){
     print "In sub clean_up\n";
}

You get the idea. Granted, like the others have said, if you're calling external programs, they may be running in the background....

Right. I put `print("DONE\n");` [download] At the end of split_logfile() and `print("Starting gen_stats\n");` [download] at the beginning of gen_stats(). It printed the messages out in correct order: `DONE Starting gen_stats ...` [download] So it appears that the functions are getting called in the correct order.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
