Any documents on how to run a program 24-7 .
I wrote a small perl script that checks the mail and depending on the word
in the subject line takes certain actions depeding on the subject.
The script keeps looping and sleeping till there is new mail. the script
has to be run as the user to work properly and has to be always running so
that when a user sends mail to this, it will do its things and give the
messages back to the user.
The problems if I exist the session the program dies, and I really don't
like have a xterm windows open 24-7 just for this.
Any ideas?
