However, woman(x) is generally compiled to translate man(1) commands automatically as long as man(1) limits the amount of requests to a reasonable level (e.g. don't use the "-a" switch). But unless woman(x) is listening on an open socket, man(1) can't make a connection. Occasionally the client/server (for lack of a better term) relationship between man(1) and woman(x) works very well. In those cases, I recommend adoption of the following manual page (after conversion from Slowlaris lingo, of course.... :-D Kevin Kinsey ************************************************************** BABY(1) USER COMMANDS BABY(1) NAME BABY - create new process from two parent processes SYNOPSIS BABY sex [ name ] SYSTEM V SYNOPSIS /usr/5bin/BABY [ -sex ] [ -name ] AVAILABILITY The System V version of this command is available with the Sys- tem V software installation option. Refer to Installing SunOS 4.1 for information on how to install and invoke BABY. DESCRIPTION BABY is initiated when one parent process polls another server process through a socket connection (BSD) or through pipes in the system V implementation. BABY runs at a low priority for approximately 40 weeks then terminates with heavy system load. Most systems require constant monitoring when BABY reaches its final stages of execution. Older implentations of BABY required that the initiating process not be present at the time of completion, In these versions the initiating process is awakened and notified of the results upon completion. Modern versions allow both parent processes to be active during the final stages of BABY. example% BABY -sex m -name fred OPTIONS -sex option indicating type of process created. -name process identification to be attaced to the new process. RESULT Successful execution of the BABY(1) results in new process being created and named. Parent processes then typically broadcast messages to all other processes informing them of their new status in the system. BUGS The SLEEP command may not work on either parent processes for some time afterward, as new BABY processes constantly send interrupts which must be handled by one or both parents. BABY processes upon being created may frequently dump in /tmp, requiring /tmp to be cleaned out frequently by one of the parent processes. The original AT&T version was provided without instructions regarding the created process; current implementations, regrettably, also suffer from a lack of documentation.

NOTES baby -sex f -name Cathryn Leigh Beck completed sucessfully at the Grey Nuns Hospital on March 30 at 9:59 P.M. after 5 hours of labour. New Mom Chenelle is doing fine, as is the baby, Dad is tickled pink. Both will probably come home sometime on Tuesday. More information can be gotten from Dad by e-mail or when he brings his new little girl by to show her off (should be soon) Celebrations can probably begin in earnest after Dad catches up on all the work he couldn't do this weekend. Sun Release 4.1 Last change: Just before I left the hospital last.
