and can someone finally explain what "spwaning child processes" means ?
It's a UNIXism - a fork() call spawns a child process from a parent
process. Not sure how much further back it goes into the deep, dark and
slightly dank dungeon of operating system history.
Cambridge on-line dictionary :
spawn verb (START)
[T] to cause something new, or many new things, to grow or start suddenly
spawn verb ( EGGS )
[I] to produce eggs
I believe that both definitions apply somewhat in this case.
But, talking of dank dungeons, I was referring - in jest - to "spwan" in the thread
subject, which sounds more like some English medieval form of child (or in this case
kitten) abuse.
