To the original poster - you are doing some strange stuff here.

Normally to make sure your perl script always ran, you would run it like this:
PHP Code:
while true; do perl myscript.pl ; echo restartingdone out.log 
Add a & to run it in the background.

The "pidof perl" is dangerous since you might have many perl scripts running on the system. You'd be better off with something like this in your perl script:
Code:
open(pidfile,">$0.pid") && print pidfile $$;close pidfile;

See remarks in file for documentation. op_buttons.cfg Defines the layout of the operator panel, and also which phones to track. /var/log/op-panel/output.log The standard output of the daemon, including debugging prints and dumps. /var/log/op-panel/error.log The standard error of the daemon.
