exec(2) replaces the running process image with a new image. So when mybinary calls exit(2), the exit status will be available to the parent via waitid(2). In your example, the parent would be the parent of the process which is calling isaexec(3C). - Stephen -- Stephen Hahn, PhD Solaris Kernel Development, Sun Microsystems [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://blogs.sun.com/sch/ _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
