I have a perl daemon that in principle (unless stopped or restarted) will run forever. . .

All of our production scripts restart themselves after some time is passed, ( i.e. 4-hours, 24-hours, etc. ).

If you have 'cron' you might want to restart the process periodically. If you can't use 'cron' then the script can test on how much time has passed and use 'system' to restart itself and then exit.

Your script will be happy with a fresh start.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
