Fork a child, which forks a grandchild and exits. Grandchild execs
what you really wanted to run. wait() returns for the child, and the
grandchild gets reparented to init.
This seems a bit of a hack when a simple solution is easy.
Just do this for POSIX systems (I don't believe there is a problem
with zombie processes on other systems):
static void signal_handler( int sig, siginfo_t* si, void * context )
{
int status;
wait (&status);
}
main( ... )
{
struct sigaction sigact;
memset( &sigact, 0, sizeof(sigact) );
sigact.sa_sigaction = &signal_handler;
sigact.sa_flags = SA_SIGINFO;
sigaction( SIGCHLD, &sigact, NULL );
...
}
