Andreas,

Thank you for your mail.
Here some more details:
The operating system:
HP3000  Release: C.55.00   User Version: C.55.00   THU, OCT 15, 1998,
8:25 AM
MPE/iX  HP31900 C.05.08  Copyright Hewlett-Packard 1987.  All rights
reserved.

I have a job that launches a perl script in the POSIX environment. This
job
communicates through pipes to an executable. In some cases, it depends
on
the server load and user input the pipes are broken and the job ends
abnormaly. The question is how to restart the job automatically and is
there
a possibility to do this with a built-in operating system feature.
As it exists for example on Unix systems: You can setup a service (the
job)
as a respawned permanent job. The operating system keeps track if the
appropriate process id does still exist and if not it automatically
restarts
the job.

Thank you for your assistance
Regards
Raymond Roesch

could you please give more details ? I'm not so firm in Unix that
respawn
and disappear will ring a bell in my MPE brain ...
Thanks, Andreas Schmidt, CSC, Germany
