Consider this code: int child_pid[5], j; pid_t child; for (j=0;j<5;j++) { child = fork(); if (child == 0) go_init_worker_process(); else child_pid[j] = child; } Now you have 5 children, and know what process IDs they are, without having to do any kernel hacking at all. This has been a long-understood idiom in the Unix/Linux world - I remember first seeing it on SunOS 3.2 back in 1985 or so...
