Is there a way to fork one program from another and then exiting the parent program. Basically, I want to have one program to start another program, but I want to be able to end the first program before the second. The fork command makes the parent program wait until all the forked children return. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------- Matthew Presley (UCLA CS Grad.
