Re: fork() with no wait()

The beginner shines in me...

For reaping children,
I was thinking of send a signal to the entire group.

The gist is:
I want to attach a child to a FIFO, then have the parent start other 
processes that read from the FIFO.  The readers must be tricked into 
thinking they are reading from files.

So, I thought I'd fork a sub for the FIFO, and have the parent continue 
on.

Is there a better solution?
