and before the child gets to exec() the program (or their equivalents). This second point makes sense, but I don't really see why the first point is necessary. As long as the terminal has changed ownership when waitpid() returns, why does it matter *when* exactly? What else – if anything – needs doing after changing the tty pgrp and before calling waitpid()? I would have though the obvious fix was to move setting tty pgrp into the child; this would guarantee that it happens before the execve() and before the waitpid() returns. -Martin
