i use a forking mechanism to fork irc services to the background, and it
goes like this:
___ START ___
use strict;
use POSIX;
# run in background?
# 1 = yes, 0 = no
$daemon = 1;
if($daemon) {
exit if fork;
POSIX::setsid();
}
# script goes here
___ END ___
works perfectly well for me :)

Hi Pual,
I think this will do the trick...
$MAXSIZE = 500
$size = 0;
@Zip_Now = ();
foreach (@Files_to_zip) {
$size += (stat $_)[7];
if ($size > $MAXSIZE) {
exec "tar -vr -T @Zip_Now -f $
Hi Pual,
I think this will do the trick...
$MAXSIZE = 500
$size = 0;
@Zip_Now = ();
foreach (@Files_to_zip) {
$size += (stat $_)[7];
if ($size > $MAXSIZE) {
exec "tar -vr -T @Zip_Now -f $tar_file";
# then burn this to CD

Try either the system function (which will allow you to return to your
program after your call to dtterm is finished) or the fork function.
Hope this helps,
