OK, in summary, what is the MAGIC piece of code here...the crux...the
essence:
***********************************
***** BOOKMARK THIS ******
***********************************
[code]
if ((ppid=fork())==0)
{
printf("Child process\n");
execlp("bash","bash","./ecurl.sh","",NULL);
return; //terminates child process
}
//does this block? YES!
// printf("Parent process %d\n",ppid);
wait(&status);
[/code]
Get this code tattooed on your butt. Took me days to fully work it out and
