This is workable, but make sure you use a fork()/exec() pair to re-
execute
yourself in that case, and use argc/argv in your main() to
determine which
mode to run in. Don't just use fork() by itself - there are severe
limits to
what you can do in an only-fork()ed process. What those limits are
isn't
entirely clear to me; perhaps someone else could elaborate on that?
The main problem is that fork() kills all other threads in the child
process, leaving you with only the thread that called fork() active.
And that effectively invalidates fork()/exec() approach for me, since
I cannot afford all other threads being killed.
Thanks for clarification.
