Greetings! posix_spawnp is returning 10, or ECHILD, on the following call. At least on my first reading (:-)), ECHILD is not one of the documented errors for fork, vfork, or clone referenced by the Linux manpage for posix_spawnp. Suggestions?Take care, ============================================================================= massert(!posix_spawn_file_actions_init(&file_actions)); massert(!posix_spawnattr_init(&attr)); printf("spawn 2 %s\n",*p1); for (pp=p1;pp<pe && *pp;pp++) printf("spawn 2a %s\n",*pp); for (pp=(void *)environ;*pp;pp++) printf("spawn 2e %s\n",*pp);s=posix_spawnp(&pid, *p1, &file_actions, &attr, (void *)p1, environ);printf("spawn %d\n",s);fflush(stdout); =============================================================================
Hmm, that's interesting. Could you please post what we call an "STC", a Simple Test Case. Something in C that demonstrates the problem and is completely self-contained, along with how to run it? We don't want to be assuming things that are not shown in the code excerpt above.
