Does anyone know where I could read up on how to use fork()? Would like the
mud to do something on the side, but it's going to take a second or two to
process it.
Basically I've made a pfile cleaner to go through and clean up the pfiles
remove old ones what not. And I have it do a backup to when it does this.
But it causes the mud to halt for a second while it does all this. So I've
heard/seen a little bit on fork. But idk really how to use it. This cleaner
is just one function so would I just like:
if (fork())
{
clean_pfiles();
exit(0);
}
Or how would I use fork to do that. I don't need anything from the process
information wise. I would just need it to run this one function and the
close the process.
So if anyone knows somewhere, where I could read up on it. Or maybe an
explaininaion on how to do this would be very appreciated.
