We have used a routine called spawnproc.c from 1993 successfully for a number of years using Solaris 5.5. We recently bought a new Sun CPU using 5.7 and have discovered that the execv command inside of spawnproc fails to properly fork new processes. Does anyone have any clues as to changes that may have been incorporated? Workarounds? Please respond personally to me as I have no idea what list to watch for replies. cheers, -harold -- Harold Bolton Data Collection Center US Geological Survey Albuquerque Seismological Laboratory 801 University SE, Suite 300 Albuquerque, NM 87106-4345 E-mail: bolton@asl.cr.usgs.gov WEB: aslwww.cr.usgs.gov www.liss.org Phone: (505) 462-3211 FAX: (505) 462-3299 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
