Do you want to do any additional processing while the file is being transferred? If not, I don't see why the transfer process should be separated from the main process.
Otherwise, here's a small script on how to use fork:
Hi,
Thanks for your reply. My sense is that FTP should not be depended on the main process it should be as an background process. Yes there are chances of additional processing while the file is being transferred
Suppose my main program is main.pl and ftp is callftp.pl how do i utilize the above program and put callftp.pl as an background program?
Hello all,
How do I start a background process and save the process id to a file on my system. For example %wait 5 & will execute and print the process id. I can't figure out how to get it to a file. I've tried: > filename 0>filename 1>filename.
Any assistance is most appreciated.
Thanks,

What I need to learn is how to use a script that launches background processes, and then kills those processes as needed.
The script successfully launches the script. But how do I check to see if the job exists before I kill it?

Hi,
I have written a menu driven shell script in which as per the choice, I run the another script on background.

bind_to_cpu
bind_to_cpu(3) Library Functions Manual bind_to_cpu(3)NAME
bind_to_cpu - Bind execution to a specific CPU.
LIBRARY
Mach Library (libmach.a)
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/types.h> #include <sys/resource.h>
int bind_to_cpu(
pid_t pid,
unsigned long cpu_mask ,
unsigned long flag );
PARAMETERS
Specifies the target pid. You must have access rights to the pid. Specifies the CPU on which the thread should run. The target CPU is the
bit index in the mask. If you set more than one bit, an error is generated. A cpu_mask of zero clears any previously set CPU binding.
Specifies options to CPU binding. Currently only the option BIND_NO_INHERIT is supported. When set, this option causes child processes
and threads to not inherit the CPU binding.
DESCRIPTION
Upon return from bind_to_cpu, all threads of the target pid are running on the target CPU. Bound threads are not eligible for execution on
any other CPU. You release CPU binding by invoking bind_to_cpu with a cpu_mask of zero.
EXAMPLES
/*
* Fork child process and force it to run on cpu number 3.
* Processes created by the forked child will not inherit bindings.
*/ #include <sys/resource.h> #include <sys/sysinfo.h> #include <sys/signal.h> #include <sys/types.h>
#define CPU_3 0x8 /* Bit 3 set */
main() {
pid_t pid;
if (pid = fork()) { /* parent */
if (bind_to_cpu(pid, CPU_3, BIND_NO_INHERIT)) {
kill(pid, SIGKILL);
exit(1); /* bind_to_cpu() will print error msg */
}
sleep(2); /* wait for child to print CPU */
}
else { /* child */
long cpu_num;
sleep(1); /* wait for parent to bind CPU */
getsysinfo(GSI_CURRENT_CPU, &cpu_num, 0L, 0L, 0L);
printf("child running on CPU %d
", cpu_num);
} }
In this example, the CPU_3 symbol is defined so that bit three in the bit mask is set. When the pid returned from the fork routine identi-
fies the parent routine, the bind_to_cpu routine is called. This routine binds the child process to CPU number three, as specified in the
CPU_3 symbol. When the pid returned from the fork routine identifies the child routine, the child routine sleeps to give the parent routine
time to set its CPU binding. Then it uses the getsysinfo call to determine its CPU and displays its CPU with the printf routine.
If the return value from the bind_to_cpu routine indicates an error, the parent process kills the child process and exits with an error
status.
RETURN VALUES
Upon successful completion, bind_to_cpu returns zero. Upon error, a -1 is returned.
