Hi there, my name is Remco Nonhebel
I'm writing a program (wpbd) that has to be started by inetd, okay, I
got that working. This program has to kill another process (called
WPBHost), that's working too, but at the end of wpbd the WPBHost-program
has to be started again. Now there I have a problem. wpbd is
cummunicating, using the inetd.
To create the new WPBHost process I use fork and execve. When I close
the connection with the client, the WPBHost program is also killed by
the inetd, and that is exacly NOT what I want. I heard that my newly
created WPBHost is at that point a member of the inetd. In the man-pages
I found out that with getpgid (get process group ID, I suppose) and
setpgid I can manipulate the group ID of the process. If I do:
setpgid(0,10000);
then
getpgid(0);
does not give me 10000 in return.... Why not, and what else can I try to
prevent WPBHost to be killed by inetd
If anyone has any ideas, I would be very thankful
Oh, before I forget, could you please reply to: nonhebel@umailme.com
greetings Remco
