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. system('/usr/local/bin/process_file file1'); system('/usr/local/bin/process_file file2');system('/usr/local/bin/process_file file1 &'); system('/usr/local/bin/process_file file2 &'); Should work in theory. Haven't test it though. -- Stuart
