Our system runs BSD 4.2. I recently found that if a shell script has only a single line which call another shell script. The system will fork two identical processes when the first shell script is called. Has anyone in the netland experienced the same thing? Please comment. --- Aldrin Leung IMS, Inc.

From: Doug Gwyn (VLD/VMB) <gwyn@Brl-Vld.ARPA> I think you are describing the normal behavior of the shell. It does not start up a new shell but forks itself whenever appropriate.
