I have used the following method to allow Bourne shell users to run csh scripts without hacking /bin/sh or exec(): /bin/csh << _foo_ csh script ... _foo_ ----------------------------------------- Subject: indices from nroff I solved the index problem by writing a macro, which I invoked manually each time a word should be put into the index. This macro used the ".tm \$1 \n%" macro to spit the word and its page number onto stderr (file descriptor 2). I then ran this file through nroff/troff again and printed it. Before printing it I ran it through sort and joined references to the same word with awk and sed. I used the line continuation sequence "\c" to inhibit a possible page break between the word in text and its invocation in the macro. I no longer have a copy of the scripts (sigh) but someone might be able to talk ucbvax!olympus!glen to post them to unix-wizards. ----------------------------------------- Subject: children inherited by init I don't believe any special action is required by a process (on V7, 4.x, or Sys V) to allow its children to be inherited by init upon the death of said process. Additionally signal(2) (Sys V) says that by default a SIGCLD is ignored. ----------------------------------------- Subject: UNIX diffs Several papers have been published (I don't have a list). Additionally the manual "The UNIX Guide" by: Pacific Micro Tech 5819 Poinsett Ave. El Cerrito, CA 94530 415-234-2815 is quite useful. (I don't know the price or whether it is still being sold.)
