Talk:Fork off and die

This is just a lame play on words, please delete this article. --ThorstenStaerk 14:14, August 10, 2011 (UTC)

I'm going to add, as soon as I test it, just to make sure:

"""

Note that any file descriptors held open by the forker are held open by the child, even though the child may not be using them! For instance, if a bash shell open use of a CDROM (perhaps with read), and then runs a child program, and then the parent bash shell dies, the child will still hold open the CDROM.

 * This is of course a consequence of fork. Does it need to be explicitly said? Dysprosia 20:19, Aug 12, 2004 (EDT)
