Forking Processes

This sort of thing is more easily done in Perl, but here's some C code to do it.

#include <sys/types.h> 
#include <unistd.h> 
pid=fork(); 
if(pid<0) 
   {error} 
if(pid==0){ 
   // child code;  
   exit;} // remember to include exit so child terminates 
else{ 
   // parent code 
}
