Use of exec / system / backticks inside of LSF job

I have to write a Perl script that will be run by submission to an LSF queue:

bsub -q somequeue perl myscript.pl

If I use exec / system / backticks inside of this script, will all subprocesses spawned (if not explicitly detached from the parent process or sent to LSF separately) be run within the same LSF constraints? i.e. Will they still be seen as part of the same LSF job / same queue?

Many thanks in advance!

Greetings,

I believe the answer to your question is yes. However, I do not know for certain. Obviously one of the best places to look for the information would be the documentation. But you could also just test it out and see by examining the process list.

cpan system
