Re: fork() with no wait()

The beginner shines in me... For reaping children, I was thinking of send a signal to the entire group. The gist is: I want to attach a child to a FIFO, then have the parent start other processes that read from the FIFO. The readers must be tricked into thinking they are reading from files.
