I have two perl scripts. Let’s call them alpha.cgi and beta.cgi.
I wish to have alpha.cgi finish its job, then activate beta.cgi, and immediately exit.

I do not need to pass any information between these two scripts. I just want alpha.cgi to trigger beta.cgi with no other interaction between them. Is there some command that I can insert before ‘exit();’ in alpha.cgi?

I have searched for ways to do this, and have found ways to kill the child and return to the parent, but I want to kill the parent, and let the child run.

Thanks to any and all who have experience with this situation.
