I follow the rules about comments defined in The Practice Of Programming by Kernighan and Pike. Comments are only supplied if the code isn't self-explaining enough and needs more context information. However I agree that some parts would gain readability and provide a better understanding if there were comments. Though, no comments are better than wrong or outdated comments, which are misleading. > Here a comment like "we want to avoid zombie process and > detach the spawned from the current process" would be useful. Yes, I agree on that. However, I thought that most C hackers already know the double-fork trick. Regards, -- Anselm R. Garbe ><>< www.ebrag.de ><>< GPG key: 0D73F361
