Hi Max !
I have a guess to what may happen:
Performer responds to signals: SIGCHLD, SIGHUP. When it gets them, it checks
whether the process that died was a Performer process (it keeps pid's of
Performer processes). If it is, it exits the Performer program.
In your fork code, you should make sure that your new process doesn't take the
APP process pid. Your forked process is the one returning 0:
if (fork() == 0)
{
do_forked_stuff();
exit(0);
}
If this isn't helping, can you please try to add your fork code to simple.c
and send me the result (where your fork makes simple.c exit) ?
