Re: Help with concurrent threads

look at the threadlimit  and execute sub routines in any of the scripts in the mrtools project on sourceforge . I wrote these several years ago and they do exactly what you are asking about.

Hi list,

Ive some doubts with a multi-threads script. My goal is to create a script with the same max number of threads running at all times.

For example: Ive an array with 9 elements and 3 threads to process it; each thread can process an element using a different time (a thread could end before another) and I would like 3 threads always running.

My idea is to take an element from a queue, start threads to reach the  maximum number of active threads allowed and simultaneously  start a separate (but unique) thread to wait every thread in execution.
