Re: problem with using the forks module within a daemon setting

Hi,

I have a program that I have been running via cron that I thought might
be better run by running it as a daemon. When I created some test
daemon programs they all worked. When I placed my program inside of the
while loop, I noticed that the daemon killed its self somehow. I then
figured out that it died just after it tried launching a new fork
process -- and when I commented this out it worked fine.

Please don't multipost. See my response in comp.lang.perl.misc
