Can some one help me on this. The routine below works, but kills only
the parent job.
I want all the jobs spaned by parent job $f to be killed. How to do
that ?
Thanks in advance.
sub run_system_for_some_time {
my $f = $_[0]; ## Job to run
my $t = $_[1]; ## Max time job can run
eval {
local %SIG;
$SIG{ALRM}=
sub{ die "timeout reached, after $t seconds!\n"; };
alarm $t;
my $xx = system("$f") ; ## This job will span other jobs
print("xx = $xx\n") ;
alarm 0;
};
alarm 0;
if($@) { print "Job aborted in run_system_for_some_time $@\n"; }
}
