Hello all

I am new to C so I need a little help on this one.
I am in need for something that calls an app and leaves it running. What is so
special about this is that this app is called by php3 scripts.

A very good soul handed these lines of code which work perfectly well in
FreeBSD :
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <unistd.h>

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
int pid;

  pid=fork();

  if (pid!=0)
  {
    pid=setsid();
    close(STDOUT_FILENO);
    close(STDIN_FILENO);
    close(STDERR_FILENO);
    execl(argv[1],argv[2],0);
  }

  return 0;
}

The problem is : how to make this work on linux systems ??

This works perfectly on my FreeBSD systems, but a single linux box needs this
functionality.

Any help would appreciated.
Thanks

Joao
