In other words, you want something that works like Apache [1.x]. * To launch Apache, you run apachectl, a shell script. * apachectl launches a parent httpd process, which in turns spawns a pool of listener httpd child processes. * apachectl goes away then, and the parent httpd supervises the operation of the server from then on. Granted, the interesting bits are all done in C or something, so that may not help you here, but it's the model you're looking for. -- Chris Devers -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
