  10. If I have a program which spawns 20 children almost simultaneously
  11. (i.e. via a loop) and arrange for a SIGALRM to be delivered after
  12. 'x' seconds in each of the children,  will the signal in one child
  13. affect other children?
  14.  
  15. The alarm() is called in each of the children.
  16.  
  17. Thanks for any responses.
