Hi
I would like to be able to execute 2 system calls simultaneously. I am not interested in the output and I would like to do the equivalent of a fork as these programs take a long time.
eg
system('/usr/local/bin/process_file file1');
system('/usr/local/bin/process_file file2');
Any suggestions on what to use???
Cheers
