In my program, I'm using argc and argv to accept command line arguments. However, if I have to get the '&' to work i.e. make it run the child as a background process, do I have to write some special code in C or does Unix handle it automatically? If I have to add the special code, how does it look... (2 Replies)

who & echo "Total number of users are `who|wc -l`"

"Output of who should be displayed on the... (2 Replies)
In the terminal, using the ampersand allows the process to run in the background--Emacs, for example. But is there a way to automatically open Emacs as a background process so I can still use the command line? Typing the ampersand is just annoying to me, and I keep forgetting; it's just too useful...

Gurus,

rpccp_add_member
add member(1m) add member(1m)NAME
add member - Adds a member to a group in a name service entry; if the specified entry does not exist, creates the entry
SYNOPSIS
rpccp add member group-entry-name -m member [-s syntax]
OPTIONS
Declares the name of a member to be added to the specified group entry (required).
You can add only one member at a time. Indicates the name syntax of the entry name (optional). The only value for this option is the dce
name syntax, which is the default name syntax. Until an alternative name syntax becomes available, specifying the -s option is unnecessary.
ARGUMENTS
Specifies the name of the target group. For an entry in the local cell, you can omit the cell name and specify only the cell-relative
name.
DESCRIPTION
The add member command adds a member to a group in a name service entry. The name of the entry containing the group and the name of the
new group member are required. The entry of a group may have been created previously (by either the add entry or add member command). If
the specified entry does not exist, the add member command tries to create the entry.
Privilege Required
You need both read permission and write permission to the CDS object entry (the target group entry). If the entry does not exist, you also
need insert permission to the parent directory.
NOTE
This command is replaced at Revision 1.1 by the dcecp command and may not be provided in future releases of DCE.
EXAMPLES
The following commands run RPCCP and add the member /.:/LandS/anthro/Cal_host_3 to the group /.:/LandS/anthro/Calendar_group: $ rpccp
rpccp> add member > -m /.:/LandS/anthro/Cal_host_3 > /.:/LandS/anthro/Calendar_group
