in reply to get list of processes triggered from parent script

#!/usr/bin/perl -w use strict; use Proc::ProcessTable; # ignore the child $SIG{CHLD} = 'IGNORE'; # create 5 child processes for demo purpose. arrange them so they stay # long enough so we can find them later for(1..5){ sleep(10) and exit if(fork == 0); } # list all process running in your machine and find all # child process for my $p (@{new Proc::ProcessTable->table}){ print $p->pid," child of $$\n" if($p->ppid == $$); }
