in reply to Suggestions on differentiating child processes

Can you use Proc::ProcessTable to get extended ps like data to find what you need?

I personally like to use unbuffered logs that log enough data to make it easy to track and watch things. That way I also have a historical reference I can look back on to investigate problems. The framework I'm using now (self built) has standard logging and statistics for each process that you mostly just get by using the packages of the framework. We have verbose and debug levels that can be used to control the level and type of output. Those can be set either globally or at the package level. There are command line options that are tied to those settings.

    Proc::ProcessTable offers extensive searching of process relatd information, but you still cannot determine what an individual process may be doing at any one time.
    As for your second note, and external source, you are the second person to recommend this (third if I count myself) and it looks like I may have to go this route.
    Thanks.
