Someone suggested that one should spawn a subprocess to get accounting information: This has the obvious disadvantage that you probably pay TWICE for the resources. If accounting is enables for both subprocess and process termination the cpu time (added to the master process upon subprocess termination) will be accounted twice (once for the subprocess and a second time when the user logs out). Thus if you pay for your CPU DONT SPAWN ! Christoph D. Gatzka zrgc002@dtupev5a.bitnet Student of medicine University of Tuebingen Gerunlun
