Aucbvax.5626 fa.unix-wizards utzoo!decvax!ucbvax!unix-wizards Sun Dec 27 18:35:03 1981 shell error >From allegra!psuvax!bear@Berkeley Sun Dec 27 18:21:59 1981 We are having a unusual problem with shell (sh). If a daemon (like UUXQT) starts a program which executes

execl("/bin/sh", "sh", "-c", "who one two three four five six", 0);

two shells

sh -c who one two three four five six sh -c who one two three four five six

will appear. the second goes cpu bound and must be killed. if instead

execl("/bin/sh", "sh", "-c", "who one two", 0);

is executed or csh is used. the result is as exepected. the command 'who' is not importain. anyone have any ideas what is happening?
