I'd like to invoke a program from within a C program, either using system() or fork(), and need to pass commands to the second process subsequently. I have no experience with fork, and don't think that system() is capable of passing commands from one process to another. Is there some kind of way to use the process ID returned by fork as a stream descriptor for fprintf (ie, 'fprintf(process_id,"%s",arg)')? Thanks for any wisdom directed this way... Scott Ferguson p.s. this is using system 5.
