Hello. I've just acquired a SPARCstation, and am trying to figure out how
to do lots of really useful things on it. In particular, I would like to
be able to fork several processes, and have a dbxtool running on each.
What I'm trying is execv("/bin/dbxtool", .....), where the "....." is a
list of arguments:
"-r"
"fred" (the name of my program)
"a" \
"b" | (fred's arguments)
"c" /
"" (the trailing null)
All sorts of wonderful things happen, including rude messages telling me
to go look at ptrace(2), but my dbxtools don't open up. Can anyone tell
me
a. can I do this?
b. do I have to do it differently?
Thanks,
Greg
