I found that (at least on the Solaris OS that I'm working on) that the
setsid function will setup a new session UNLESS:
" The calling process is already a process group leader,
or the process group ID of a process other than the
calling process matches the process ID of the calling
process. "
So, I think that's saying that as long as the process (the child) does
not have any children of it's own, then I'll be ok with the above
code! Is that what the blurb above is saying? (Why are UNIX docs
always so darn hard to read!!?)
