You are encouraged to solve this task according to the task description, using any language you may know.
In this task, the goal is to spawn a new process which can run simultaneously with, and independently of, the original parent process.
Perl
Interpreter: Perl 5.x
In the child code, you may have to re-open database handles and such.
FORK: if ($pid = fork()) { # parent code } elsif (defined($pid)) { setsid; # tells apache to let go of this process and let it run solo # disconnect ourselves from input, output, and errors close(STDOUT); close(STDIN); close(STDERR); # re-open to /dev/null to prevent irrelevant warn messages. open(STDOUT, '>/dev/null'); open(STDIN, '>/dev/null'); open(STDERR, '>>/home/virtual/logs/err.log'); # child code exit; # important to exit } elsif($! =~ /emporar/){ warn '[' . localtime() . "] Failed to Fork - Will try again in 10 seconds.\n"; sleep(10); goto FORK; } else { warn '[' . localtime() . "] Unable to fork - $!"; exit(0); }
Obviously you could do a Fork in a lot less lines, but this code covers all the bases
Python
Interpreter: Python 2.5
import os pid = os.fork() if pid > 0: # parent code else: # child code
