Re: problems with running random procedures in the same time

[Alain LCSI <alain@xxxxxxx>]

Hi,

Problem number 1
You are right about using "launch" for running a few procedures run  
at the same time, such as launch [this] launch [that]. However, if  
these procedures take a long time to execute, doing a forever [launch  
[this] launch [that]] will start too many processes because you will  
launch a new set of this and that while you already have some this  
and that running.

I cannot read your procedures because on my system, all procedure  
names consist of "invisible characters". Quite hard to track.

Problem number 2 is a very common problem that requires "reading and  
tracing" your code line by line. I bet that you are issuing a forever  
[target] command somewhere, and the target procedure is itself doing  
a forever. Try to see that as "forever forever", in other words,  
"contnuously launch processes that launch processes". That's how you  
get the message "can't start a new process". MW can run a few tens  
processes (50 I believe) and after that, the next process is one too  
many.

Solution: resolve the "forever forever" issue. Invoke "target" only  
once.
