Hi everyone, I am stuck. I have a perl script that I wrote. It runs on a Solaris 8 box and goes out to linux boxes and tars up user data and mysql data and stores it on particular drives of the sun box.
Right now the script only goes out and tars up one server at a time. I was thinking of putting that process as a sub routine and try to go out and "backup" two servers (or three) at a time. I am thinking I should try and fork child processes to do each server. The child being the sub routine. What do you think? Would this be the best way to go about this? Where is the best resource for examples on forking? I am going through google groups but most of them entail system calls or networking. Not a sub routine. thanks for the help... --chad -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
