how to Launch an independent process.
Hello,

I needed a help please...

I have an application which launches process. For this i am using fork and execv method calls. By doing this my launched process are now child process of the parent process(launching process). I dont want this to happen, i want the process that is launched to be an independent process, not a child process. how do i achieve this.

As i know, daemon process are used to run a process at background. For me i just want the launched process to run independently.

Please help me with this problem, as soon as possible.

Thanks and regards,
deepthi

See this thread and note # 10.

Then look at the man page for nohup, batch, and/or crontab. Also search the forums for those words.
