I'm a it fuzzy about _BPX_SHAREAS=YES and if it is working (or not) I have a shell script(s2) which prints out the pid, and parent pid. I call this from another script s1. The output from _BPX_SHAREAS=YES sh s1 _BPX_SHAREAS=NO sh s1 Both print the same parent, so it looks like it is having no effect.
On the other hand when Zowe is started, I can see several address spaces start, run, and quickly end, and I want to make them run as shared and avoid this overhead. Can I find out why a different address space was used? The doc for BPX1SPN gives reasons why _BPX_SHAREAS=YES is not honoured, including *If the program to be run is a set-user-ID or set-group-ID program that would cause the effective user-ID or group-ID of the child process to be different from that of the parent process. *What is a "*set-user-ID program" *... and how does spawn know! Am I missing something?
