IMHO forking and wait for the result should not be done if it can be avoided. It just adds overhead. Of course you can argue that just replace sh with C is a good first step towards to actually do the command in "full C". Altough I'm afraid that that will get such low priority that it won't be done. -- Med vänliga hälsningar Fredrik Gustafsson tel: 0733-608274 e-post: iveqy@xxxxxxxxx -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
