Unfortunately, NO. I went through the same thing, when we first implemented UNIX System Services. This is z/OS's (previously ESA 5.2 & OS/390) method of emulating the UNIX fork of a process. A spawn is even 'worse', since the originating address space goes away. I was just implementing goal mode at the time, and the forks and spawns were not fully understood, so there was a lot of editing of the policy. - Too busy driving to stop for gas! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
