Hmm. I must have misunderstood something last night... One should
resist the temptation to code while drinking beer ;-).
Need to have some thoughts about my general architecture now as for
some
stuff, integrating the external executables into the master daemon to
be
run as threads should actually work and it would result in a
dramatically faster execution than any fork()/exec() model would ever
do....
Thanks for all the replies, anyway.
Best regards,
Gabriel
