Hi. Not really a Fedora question, but maybe someone has thoughts on how to implement this. I've got a situation where I'm looking to have a process where I spawn off a number of external apps. I'd like an app to manage the entire process of creating/tracking the child apps. So basically, I'd like to be able to fire off 10 copies of the child app, track the health/status of the child copies while they're running, abd be able to continually fire off additional copies of the child app when the number of running child apps gets below a given threshold. Of course I'd like to know if I'm already running a given child app, so I only have a child app with the same input args running once. I'd also like to be able to track when a child app is halted/stuck, so I can gracefully kill it, and restart it... Any thoughts on any kind of open source app that does this, or gets close... I started to architect a quick solution to this when I couldn't find anything on the 'net, but figured I'f ping here as well. Comments/Thoughts are good. thanks!! -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
