One of the web hosts that I use allows a single cron job to run. I need to run more than one scheduled job using this single launch.
 Now I could just include the jobs into the one cron job, but if one abended
 for any reason, then the second one wouldn't run.
 
 I have seen some posts advising the use of fork and others advising the use
 of popen.
 
 Ideally I'd like the initial cron job to read a database table and launch
 separate jobs based on entries in the table that would all run to conclusion
 independantly of each other.
 
 I'd like some ideas of what is the best way to accomplish this?
 
 TIA
 
 Paul
