Re: multiple process calls from GTK

[Harring Figueiredo <harringf yahoo com>]

 I guess what you need is a good 5 days read on Steven's book (Advanced
programming on Unix Environment) or something like that.

  * Fork/exec
  * File descriptor inheritance
  * Signals
  * Child process handling.


  It would take roughly 932 emails to help you with this.

  Get the book and good luck.
