I did not know that I need to have my list in shared memory (I assume that's 
what you're referring to as shm in your response).  This is the type of thing 
that I wanted to know in my question.  Is there a way to add my linked list 
into shared memory? I will search for this on the web, but a quick heads-up on 
how to do this would be much appreciated. Also, what is modules@ ? 

Respectfully,
Pranesh

How are you sharing your list between children? Is your linked list in shm?

This might be better directed at modules@
