ITIMER_VIRTUAL running in child after fork()?

2003-06-18 Thread Volker Stolz
The man page for fork() says: ยท All interval timers are cleared; see setitimer(2). So clearly ITIMER_VIRTUAL should be cleared as well, but a quick test showed that a fork()ed child still has the VIRTUAL ( PROF) timer running. Is this right? -- http://www-i2.informatik.rwth-aachen.de/stolz/ ***

If we adopt a dl-based framework for the installer, we can shrink it down pretty much to whatever size we want (and memory usage can be less. YaST, one of the most feature-packed installers out there (SuSE) takes up less RAM than sysinstall!). This also gives us the ability to have plugins across
