I guess the easiest way to think of this would be an MMORPG server.
You have a primary zone server that you ru,n where most folks are
connecting up.
As your people run across the land, they go from zone to zone.
You have to leave your primary zone open, running and responsive, but
you need to launch new zones as people go across.
Now near as I can tell I can use
system("./mygame.bin");
To launch the new process, but if I'm not mistaken won't that freeze
the primary zone server until the new zone exits?
Anyways I realize I should probably be asking a C++ specific group,
but since this server runs on linux, I'm hoping that Linux has some
magic wand I can wave :)
fork() and exec() are the calls you'll need.
