Hello I have a list of clients to which I need to copy files from one single source. I need to perform this copy such a way that all "robocopy" happen at teh same time. That is, if there are 5 clients, I need 5 robocopy processes started at teh same time. How can I do this in Perl? I tried to use this, but its one-at-a-time only.
if ( @client > 1 ) { foreach my $client (@client) { print MYLOG "Working on Source: ",$srcMachine," and Client: " +,$client->[0], "\n"; if ( &isAlive( $client->[0] ) ) { print $$."\n"; my $job = Win32::Job->new(); print $job."\n"; my $job_result = $job->spawn(&startCopy( $srcMachine, $cli +ent->[0] )); die $^E unless (defined $job_result); #print $job_result; }
