Fork() is ported for windows with a few caveats. My issue is I have not used fork before and do not quite understand the functionality of the command. I have been unable to find a simple generic example of Fork being utilized for anything.

I have created a script that takes a machine||ip list and then checks to see if particular patches have been installed. Unfortunately, the script currenly is linear. I am wanting to speed up the process by running the query against multiple machines without waiting on a previous machine to...
