Also, this might not be clear from my original message, the main process is the process that creates the threads, one for each server that needs to be backed up. Each thread calls fork() only once (through open3) for the rsync to do the heavy lifting. So, it's not a fork() from the main process (which would perhaps copy all threads to the fork()ed process, or maybe not, who knows). Amazing there is so little known about what this does / how this works, i'll see if i can get a working testcase instead of the snipped i pasted. -Sndr. -- | One tequila, two tequila, three tequila, floor. | 4096R/20CC6CD2 - 6D40 1A20 B9AA 87D4 84C7 FBD6 F3A9 9442 20CC 6CD2
