[Freeswitch-users] Defunct processes from starting a script

Dear community, Newbie here; I am currently experiencing aleatory defunct processes by starting a Perl script this way: <action application="set" data= "ivr_path=/usr/local/freeswitch/scripts/myscript.pl"/> <action application="socket" data="127.0.0.1:9080 sync full"/> Are there any better ways to have it executed and avoid these? Regards Fred
