NAME
baby - create new process from two parent processes
SYNOPSIS
baby
[
-sex
]
[
-name
]
DESCRIPTION
Baby
is initiated when one parent process polls another server
process through a socket connection (BSD) or through pipes in the
System V implementation.
Baby
runs at a low priority for approximately
40 weeks then terminates with heavy system load. Most systems require
constant monitoring when
baby
reaches its final stages of execution.
Older implementations of
baby
required that the initiating process not be present at the time of
completion. In these versions the initiating process is awakened
and notified of the results upon completion. Modern versions allow both
parent processes to be active during the final stages of
baby.
OPTIONS
-sex
option indicating type of process created.
-name
process identification to be attached to the new process.
RESULT
Successful execution of the
baby(1)
results in new process
being created and named. Parent processes then typically
broadcast messages to all other processes informing them of their
new status in the system.
BUGS
The
sleep
command may not work on either parent processes for some
time afterward, as new
baby
processes constantly send interrupts
which must be handled by one or more parent.
Baby
processes upon being created may frequently dump
in /tmp requiring /tmp to be cleaned out frequently by one
of the parent processes.
