It's spelled "gratuitous".

Many years ago I posted a shell script to Usenet in which I prepended a
line with 'exec', in an attempt to avoid having a shell process hanging
around doing a wait(). David Korn himself (of Korn shell fame)
responded saying this was not necessary, as the shell would do exec()
anyway.

By bloat, I assume you mean disk space. There should not be any difference
as far as "code bloat" goes (i.e. templates in C++ are known to be prone to
code bloat). Executables are probably a bit smaller than the g77 port due
to the newer optimizations in egcs. If you are worried about disk space

It won't work due to the changed syntax in various places (e.g.
timeout). Besides, the new bus architecture is not available in that
release and the USB code

do you have a tarball for this ? I'd be glad to co
There is a [good?] g77 port built into egcs-1.1.1, although I have never
used it.
Why would gcc-2.8.x be the stock compiler versus the [better?] egcs-1.1.x?
C++ comes along for free in all it's glory.

I just finished going through a couple of crontabs prepending the
command-lines with ``exec'', when it hit me.
Can shell itself recognize, there will be no more commands and just
proceed to exec without forking? What would this break?
This should never, of course, happen in interactive mode...

Jeffrey Hsu and I just came to the same conclusion about the splbio
additions earlier this week. I had assumed that Jeffrey had put in
these changes already. Anyway, the two of you need to coordinate
getting the changes put in so that you do not collide.
