help wiht pth_fork.

[Enright, Brian]

Can anybody help,

I am trying to fork another process from within a running pth thread, in
order to make a call to a exec.. function.  Apparently when the process is
swaped out the entire parent (ie. threaded libary)  goes with it?  not sure
what I am doing wrong.  (also tried fork instaid of pth_fork).


Here is a code sample:

        .
        .
        .
child_process = pth_fork();

if (child_process == 0) {
  execv(.......);
  exit(0);
}

waitpid(child_process, &status, WUNTRACED);                    /* wait for
child to exit gracefully   */
        .
        .
        .
        .

Thanks,
  Brian Enright
