Hi,
I could help myself. At least this works with my testing programms.
- I need to wait for the $pid instead of -1
- I can check $? for the exit status
- I need to check the result of waitpid for >0 instead of == -1
So now the relevant code section reades likes this:
if ($pid == 0) { # child
print " child: exec\n";
exec("$prg arguments");
exit;
} else { # parent
print " parent: wait\n";
my $time = time();
my $kill_flag = 1;
while (time() - $time < $timeout) {
sleep 1;
my $kid = waitpid($pid,WNOHANG);
my $exit_value = $? >> 8;
if ($kid > 0) {
$kill_flag = 0;
$return_code = !$exit_value;
last;
}
}
if($kill_flag) {
kill(9, $pid);
$return_code = 0;
}
}
return $return_code;
Thanks for reading anyway :-)

you begin bashing the string with a +42 regexp of confusion

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

Want more info? How to link
or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
