RE: Passing data structure to batch job

I'm listening, Jon.
...and your suggested solution would be???
I'm intrigued by the spawn() API, -- and I like the companion waitpid() API. I wouldn't categorize it in the "it's easy!" set, especially since the link to the examples is no longer valid.
Does the spawned job run in the same jobq as the spawner? I didn't see where that could be specified.
What if that jobq is single-threaded? I'd need some practice with this one.

I would suggest you look at the *LDA for this.

Go wash your mouth out with soap young man!
