Thank to you both, Nacho and Joerg. However I would love to hear why the call to exec would fail right after a call to fork(). From reading things about vfork() it sounds like its sole purpose is to allow people to call exec right after a fork. I just like to understand why exec doesn't work well with fork(). Is it because the scheduler is not ready or unpredictable after a fork()?
Thanks again. This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected]
