I want to spawn under UNIX one program many times (multiprocessor
machine). So I could sent it into the background using the UNIT keyword,
but how can I determine when the program finishes?
I run some basic tests and it seems that IDL leaves the unit open.
Is there a way or have I (ab)use the filesystem for this (via
lockfiles)?
thanks,
:-) marc
