Hi all,

In my performer application (using perfly), after pfMultiProcess and
pfConfig
are invoked, I need to spawn a few processes (for audio control). I am
using sproc for that. Now, the problem I am facing is that perfly wont
quit normally and just hangs. Using the debugger, I found that the problem
is at pfExit().
It hangs at pfExit and also the child process continues to run.
When I looked at the man pages for pfExit, it is mentioned that user
processes forked or sproced after pfConfig will be terminated by
pfExit. Those forked or sproced before pfConfig will be sent a SIGCLD
signal. But this doesnt seem to be happening.

So, can someone please tell me how to ovecome the above two problems?

Thanks
Rama
