I have a Perl sockets app running as a service listening for miscellaneous
messages, START being one. If it receives a START message it will start an
application and then continue listening. Once the application is finished
running I want it to send a signal/message to the service.
I could accomplish this with a second script that acts as a wrapper for the
application and then sends a message on completion but I wanted to do it all
within the service by forking the application and then having it signal to the
parent process upon its completion.
