commands not working if the executed from forked process
Hi,

I have an application where if it runs indivisually could able to execute commands (like system("ls")) and could able to execute tcl script.

Same application if started from health monitor process (From health monitor process my application will be forked), it could not execute the commands from system() and also my tcl script execution failing.

While call to system gives error like "ls: write error: Bad file descriptor" and tcl script execution fails. Could you please tell me why this problem is coming when process is started as child process.

Thanks,


Chandrashekhar
