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.
