Sort' of like a 'subprocess' in this context.   H It doesn't actually make it *do* anything else per se. That's left as an2 exercise for the 'spawned' process to perform. :-)  B Ways to accomplish that would be the easy way out, with a system()H function call, instead of fork(), which starts a shell and then executes$ the given command and its arguments.  G Or to use popen() function to start a process and have it do something.   B But for Linux and typical UNIX OSes, the historical way of settingF specific terminal characteristics is to skip all the shell and processE middlemen and set it directly via an ioctl() function call on the TTY  device (e.g. /dev/tty).   H You would also have to make sure this was an interactive tty + shell, as well, if doing it directly.   E Or use a terminal-handling library such as termios' functions -- e.g. B tcgetattr()/tcsetattr(). This is OS-specific since some implements0 termio, some termios, some completely different.  E For more details on the UNIX-side programming, questions are probably H more appreciated in the comp.unix.programmer newsgroup. :-) But originalF poster should now have a better idea of what he's looking for in UNIX.   -Dan   ------------------------------  # Date: Fri, 02 Dec 2005 03:39:52 GMT 9 From: Bob Harris <nospam.News.Bob@remove.Smith-Harris.us> 8 Subject: Re: the counterpart of lib$spawn on Linux/UNIX?D Message-ID: <nospam.News.Bob-D92972.22395101122005@news.verizon.net>   In article  8 <1133492014.072235.273380@g14g2000cwa.googlegroups.com>,$  chris_doran@postmaster.co.uk wrote:   > wob96@yahoo.com wrote: > > Hi,  > > G > > I'm porting an ancient fortran program from OpenVMS Alpha to Linux, O > > needlessly to say, numerous problems, now I'm trying to figure out what the  > > lib$spawn on VMS does? > > 3 > >   open (unit=0, file=fname, status = 'unknown') * > >   call lib$spawn ( 'set term/nowrap' ) > > M > > From google result seems it's something related to process.
