This is not really PPC specific, but it is an embedded PPC system that I'm working with, so... My embedded system is structured such that the main user-mode processes that are being run are downloaded and executed on demand. I'm currently downloading the executable to an ext3 system on the CompactFlash, but there is really no reason to use non-volatile memory so I'm thinking to download to a tempfs directory and execute from there. But if I do that, I want to remove the program from the directory after I start it, so that the file does not take up ram space. Will that actually work? I'm using exec(2) to execute the program file wherever it is downloaded. Will a subsequent unlink of the file have a result, or will the file continue to take up space as backing store for the executable? - -- Steve Williams "The woods are lovely, dark and deep. steve at icarus.com But I have promises to keep, http://www.icarus.com and lines to code before I sleep, http://www.picturel.com And lines to code before I sleep." -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.5 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFCFSrcrPt1Sc2b3ikRApXCAKDJpcfBMIGj7aOQ46hh19o0eOV2XgCgnprQ rIAecQJg+VpdFbo+gWXwWKk= =p475 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
