From: Earle Clubb Date: 2007-06-02T04:37:48+09:00 Subject: Running multiple simultaneous interpreters/scripts I have a setup where cron is calling N instances of a particular Ruby script simultaneously. It seems that as N increases, the delay before each script executes its first line of code increases by a little less than N seconds. I'm not sure if this is an issue with cron or if it's the cumulative startup time for N ruby interpreters. An ideas on how to speed this up to a near constant (~<1sec) delay? Is there a way to run all N scripts simultaneously with a single interpreter process? Thanks. I'm using 1.8.5 on fc6. Earle -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
