I have several scripts that need to be run simultaneously as separate processes. My plan is to complete a cron job that runs multiple instances of these scripts at a given interval. Is that a good idea? What are the pros and cons of this approach? Are there any other options I need to consider?
Bottomline: I'm trying to simulate multithreading. Any race conditions will be processed using the code (for example, setting statuses in the database, etc.). Scripts must perform intensive processing tasks (for example, create sketches, etc.).
