I am ready to work with anyone to make fork/exec happen. It requires we find out what globals are being set by the postmaster, and have the child run those same routines. I can show you examples of what I have done and walk you through areas that need work. If you look at the EXEC_BACKEND defines in CVS, you can see what I have done so far. We need to have EXEC_BACKEND working on Unix first, then we can add the CreateProcess call on Win32, so all this can be done on Unix first. -- Bruce Momjian | http://candle.pha.pa.us [EMAIL PROTECTED] | (610) 359-1001 + If your life is a hard drive, | 13 Roberts Road + Christ can be your backup. | Newtown Square, Pennsylvania 19073 ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 7: don't forget to increase your free space map settings
