Can a few folks with BSD/Solaris/HPUX/whateverotherthanLinux boxes try the script that Tony found and see what it does on their machines?
$ uname -mrs FreeBSD 3.3-STABLE i386
The test script forks a single child and starts chowing cpu, but produces no output on the terminal (it keeps looping in the while 1: pass).
Some observations:
If I replace the call to sys.stderr.write with a simple print, then I get a single asterisk. Is sys.stderr.write() perhaps buffered?
Call it with "python -u" and it is unbuffered: """-u : unbuffered binary stdout and stderr (also PYTHONUNBUFFERED=x)""" Likewise, dropping off the fork() and rearranging the code removed the problem. -- In flying I have learned that carelessness and overconfidence are usually far more dangerous than deliberately accepted risks. -- Wilbur Wright in a letter to his father, September 1900
