I apologize, Don. I don't provide all the code because I thought it would obfuscate things, but it seems I've made things more complicated. I really appreciate your patience, here.

First, I run "ps" and look for instances of "my_job" and have a maximum number that's checked before spawning another. I've run as many as 400 to stress things, and it worked (with the exception being the problem I'm talking about here, which doesn't seem to be affected at all by that number). I currently run a maximum of 20, but at this instant, for debugging purposes, I've set the limit at one. There is some proprietary stuff inside "my_job" that I'm hesitant to show (yes, I understand how difficult that makes this!)

As for reading the files continuously, the source of data is always on, populating the source text file. I copy the file over, erase the source copy, and then read each line until a counter exceeds the line size of the file, OR if the last line I read has a timestamp that is too old.

As for your suggestion to read the file a single time, yes, I used that successfully and just switched back with the suspicion that that method (the method you recommend here) was causing my current problem.

Exit status: It executes an "exit 0" on success or failure, but results are all echoed to a log file. Failures I check are all for functions that read or write data to and from hardware, but I still exit 0, and simply report the results of those functions.

Would you suggest waiting until the process count (of running "my_job" instances) dropped to some lower number or perhaps zero before fetching a new file full of records?

Thanks again!!
Mark

Mojo::IOLoop::Delay(3pm)				User Contributed Perl Documentation				  Mojo::IOLoop::Delay(3pm)

NAME
Mojo::IOLoop::Delay - Synchronize events SYNOPSIS
use Mojo::IOLoop::Delay; # Synchronize multiple events my $delay = Mojo::IOLoop::Delay->new; $delay->on(finish => sub { say 'BOOM!' }); for my $i (1 .. 10) { $delay->begin; Mojo::IOLoop->timer($i => sub { say 10 - $i; $delay->end; }); } # Wait for events if necessary $delay->wait unless Mojo::IOLoop->is_running; DESCRIPTION
Mojo::IOLoop::Delay synchronizes events for Mojo::IOLoop. EVENTS
Mojo::IOLoop::Delay can emit the following events. "finish" $delay->on(finish => sub { my $delay = shift; ... }); Emitted safely once the active event counter reaches zero. ATTRIBUTES
Mojo::IOLoop::Delay implements the following attributes. "ioloop" my $ioloop = $delay->ioloop; $delay = $delay->ioloop(Mojo::IOLoop->new); Loop object to control, defaults to the global Mojo::IOLoop singleton. METHODS
Mojo::IOLoop::Delay inherits all methods from Mojo::EventEmitter and implements the following new ones. "begin" my $cb = $delay->begin; Increment active event counter, the returned callback can be used instead of "end". my $delay = Mojo::IOLoop->delay; Mojo::UserAgent->new->get('mojolicio.us' => $delay->begin); my $tx = $delay->wait; "end" $delay->end; $delay->end(@args); Decrement active event counter. "wait" my @args = $delay->wait; Start "ioloop" and stop it again once the "finish" event gets emitted, only works when "ioloop" is not running already. # Use the "finish" event to synchronize portably $delay->on(finish => sub { my ($delay, @args) = @_; ... }); $delay->wait unless $delay->ioloop->is_running; SEE ALSO
