Hai
We are faced with a strange problem. Even though we have the
int ChildInt ()
{
wait((union wait *)0);
}
....
....
signal(SIGCHLD, ChildInt);
....
....
when we really try to fork at a very rapid rate, we end up with
some defunct (ZOMBIE ) processes.
Is a SUN 4 environment. COuld some one explain to us what
could be wrong? and possible solutions.
Thanks very much ,
kannan
