Hi,
I am thinking of write an unix app that will get data
from a pipe e.g. | and then will do a HTTP
POST to some server.
e.g. command1 xxxx | java PipeReader -- OR --
e.g. command1 xxxx | perl PipeReader
Assume I need to invoke the JVM process or PERL
process very frequently ( 5 times / sec ) --> ( 300
times / min )
I know that Java's startup time is slow. and it
allocation a block of per-defined memory when it
starts up. like 2MB. although it may only
use 300KB. so. I think start a JVM process is SLOW
and need lots of
memory.
I am not very familiar with PERL. I wonder if I invoke
300 PERL process / min, is it faster and use less
memory than invoke 300 JVM process / min?
Both will do the same thing.--> each time it's'
invoked, it will do a HTTP POST of some data get from
the pipe ( stdin ) and then System.exit().
thanks.
