The answers I received to my last query were wonderful, and I have successfully gotten through that sticking point, however now that I am through there a new problem has arisen.

I fork off a child process to run the background command, but when the main process continues running it must also run a remote command on the same machine that the previous one is already ssh'd into.

The command sent that is running in the background is:

nohup ./sleepwake 100 120 12 140 160 12 08:15:00 > sleepwake.out &

The next attempt to remote execute a command causess this error:

ProtoSocket: bind() error: Address already in use
mgen: ../common/protoSocket.cpp:2722: bool ProtoSocket::SetLoopback(bool): Assertion `IsOpen()' failed.
