Quoth "ToMasz" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
| There is a script running continuously which executes an external

| After several hundred executions (cycles of the loop), the main script
| gets an exception while trying to start the process. This situation is

| How to properly execute another process from my script?
Not sure what's causing this. I suggest you invoke "ps" after a
hundred iterations or so - maybe "ps -ef", or "ps wwaux" on BSD
platforms like MacOS. I think the output may show a large number
of processes, and you will know where they came from.
