Re: fork + signal

["Suma Choudhary" <sumac@myw.ltindia.com>]

Sorry for being so vague!
OK the situation is like this:
I've a process which after receiving a card insertion message  spawns another process.
Now when the insertion and removal of card is done at a fast rate, the spawning of the child stops after certain time:-(
This when checked with a slower rate works fine.

When the card is removed the child process detects it and kills itself.
THe parent gets a SIGCHLD and "waits" on the child.

Do u see any problem here......should I disable the SIGCHLD before spawning the child?


Thanks for taking the time to consider it.

Regards
suma

 Suma, 

 How could a child process send a signal if it is not already created?
