Hi Michael,
the '-d' option for boa is a no-op in uClinux, the fork call is #ifdef'd out. Just using "boa &" will do the job. BTW, all "daemon" applications in uClinux that I know of are backgrounded this way to work around the fork limitation. -Erwin _______________________________________________ uClinux-dev mailing list uClinux-dev@uclinux.org http://mailman.uclinux.org/mailman/listinfo/uclinux-dev This message was resent by uclinux-dev@uclinux.org To unsubscribe see: http://mailman.uclinux.org/mailman/options/uclinux-dev
