Greetings!
I don't seem to be able to spawn a child process from a thread and have the
process continue executing after the parent process terminates. This
happens if the thread that spawns the child process is still running when
the parent process is terminated.
I am attempting to start processes from within awful pages.
If I run the following program and terminate it, (ctrl-c) before the sleep
completes, the child process does not continue running. If I let it
complete without interruption, the child process keeps running, even after
the parent process has exited. I also tried (process-fork cmd),
(process-wait (process-run cmd)), and using the shell egg. Nothing seems to
work. Maybe it isn't supposed to work? Regardless, I would just like to be
able to spawn a process in awful, from hitting a web page, and have the
process keep running. (This is for an internal tool.) Any help would be
appreciated.
Thanks,
-Thomas Hintz
