i m using Windows XP, and by tomorrow i will have have fedora core
installed too. the problem is, when i use these "fork() and exec()" my
windows doesnt do anything, python gives an error about the module,
the kind of error when u know u r wrong.
is it because these commands work on linux?
if so, is it better for me to stick with fedora for my python programs
or use windows?

as documentation says:

Fork a child process. Return 0 in the child, the child's process id in the
parent. Availability: Macintosh, Unix.

You can achive the same thing in windows by taking different approach,
but i would say that Linux is way more programmer-friendly (especially
Debian ;-)

Hi,
I want to use python as a "shell like" program,
and execute an external program in it( such as mv, cp, tar, gnuplot)
I tried:
os.execv("/bin/bash",("/usr/bin/gnuplot",'-c "gnuplot < plot.tmp"'))
since it's in a for-loop, it should be executed many times, but
It exits after the first time running.

I am trying to write a program that will fork a process, and execute the
given task... the catch is that if it runs too long, I want to clean it up.
this seemed pretty straight forward with a single executable being run
from the fork. The problem I am having now is that if I call a shell
scripts, then lets say calls "xterm &", after the timeout has occurred,
I kill the shell script, but the xterm is still running... I cannot seem
to kill...

I have a Python script that does a fork/exec, so the parent process
can get the child's PID and monitor /proc/PID/stat (on a CentOS
system). Most of my processes' command lines are straightforward
enough to do this with, but I have a handful that use < on the command
line, eg
../gobmk_base.linux_x86 --quiet --mode gtp < 13x13.tst

Hi all,
I'm writing a manager application (Linux/C++) that'll spawn 2 instances of a program (myApp). The myApp program needs to stay alive after being spawned (both instances) so a 3rd party program could connect to them thru socket. My problem is at the fork and exec function which I'm not really familiar with yet. Could anyone help to point me in the right direction or maybe enlighten me with the correct usage of fork and exec.
Thanks and...

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:
