Thanks for the explanation of how it works,however I am still wondering why it works like that ? Why doesn't the child process change the process name after the failed execve() ? is it "just history" or is this a feature ? -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
