Hi, Maybe this helps:https://docstore.mik.ua/orelly/perl4/lperl/ch14_07.htm I think you can "catch" the signal sent by system to cleanly exit.
Maybe you can then combine this with the following: https://perldoc.perl.org/functions/kill.html That should allow you to remove the child processes as well if you maintain an internal list of their pid's. I hope that helps. Bernard
