I recommend you study in detail IPC and socket programming -- it's a
complex topic and going back and forth on a mailing list isn't the way
to learn it.

One of the best books is the two volume set by Richard Stevens titled
"Unix Network Programming" -- volume one covers socket programming
(and gives immense detail on building a forking server like Apache),
and volume two covers interprocess communication. The content is
perfectly applicable on Linux since it follows the Unix model.
