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 Is the machine running FreeBSD? If it's running SunOS (or Solaris) then your best bet is to contact Sun Microsystems as FreeBSD doesn't seem to have a role in this equation. Sorry we couldn't be of more help, -- Jonathan ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Jonathan Slivko Tel: 917-655-3455 Technical Support Representative Fax: 212-663-1109 Cosmic-Cow Internet, We Power the Internet http://www.cosmic-cow.net To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
