- SYNOPSIS
-
- baby
-
- DESCRIPTION
-
- BABY is initiated when one parent process polls another server
- process through a socket connection (BSD) or, in the System V
- implementation, through pipes.
-
- BABY runs at a low priority for approximately 40 weeks, then
- terminates with a 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.
-
- FILES
-
- /tmp Temporary dump storage
-
- BUGS
-
- The SLEEP command may not work on either parent process for
- sometime afterward, as new BABY processes constantly send
- interrupts that must be handled by one or more parents.
-
- BABY processes, upon being created, may frequently dump in /tmp,
- requiring /tmp to be cleaned out frequently by one of the parent
- processes.
-
- The original AT&T version was provided without instructions
- regarding the created process; this remains in current
- implementation.
-
- ^C (quit process) is deemed illegal in certain countries, check
- with local authorities.
