Hello,

Distro : Debian 10 - 64bits

I think it's the right list ; if not, please redirect me.
It is.
In order to launch a command from within the C programme in attachment, I use "fork 
- execve - wait" trio so that parent program waits until command has finished

Building the program : cc execve.c -o execve

Program syntax : ./execve <command full path>

Example : ./execve /usr/bin/gvim

The problem :

--- if I execute "./execve /usr/bin/gvim", gvim starts after a few seconds but 
without executing .vimrc, and parent program doesn't wait for gvim to end.

Output of "ps -auwx --forest" during the few wait seconds :

 \_ gvim

Output of "ps -auwx --forest" once gvim started :

lgentis   5212  0.1  0.7 426212 43880 ?        Rl   14:47    0:07 xfce4-terminal

lgentis   9093  1.3  0.4  75804 26700 ?        Ss   16:36     0:00 gvim

We can see that  gvim is not a child process of the parent program (which has 
ended)
see :help -f

--- if I execute "./execve /usr/bin/vim.gtk", vim starts in text mode in the 
console ; however, parent program waits till vim is closed.

Output of "ps -auwx --forest"  :

vim.gtk

  We can see that  vim.gtk is a child process of the parent program

--- I did the same test with gedit and audacious, and all works fine :  child 
program is executed and parent program waits as expected.

Output of "ps -auwx --forest" :

gedit

We can see that  gedit is a child process of the parent program


Best regards,
Tony.

Thanks a lot, Tony ; that was the solution ; yet gvim is launched (after 6 seconds ???), and parent program waits till gvim is closed.

Just a little thing : this child instance of gvim does not read my .vimrc unless I ad "-u /myHome/.vimrc"

And if I add "-u /myHome/.vimrc" and do "Edition - startup setting", it says "new file .vimrc"
