James,
The script is too long. I fork because I tar thru ssh which uses
memory. So that server I am on doesn't go done because of memory
consumption I fork each tar so when the fork dies the memory is freed
for the system..
I really think I have issues with my exit 's.. I am going to remove
an exit I think it might work.
Thanks for the help......
