There are always 2 ways around a problem ... depening on the kind of situation, for which you need threading, there are always posibilities forinstance main program: create lock (file of semaphore), aquire lock create fifo (shared mem or file, socket etc) for i in threads do exec('client program &'); stuff 'todo data' in fifo release lock while sleep 1 (or microsecond sleep for fine grained status updates) get lock get status / stuff data in fifo if needed release lock if termination reached break client: while (1) get lock get todo data from shared mem/file/sock release lock if done, or no data break else process data Its not true threading, but in a lot of situations, it is sufficient... ofcource you can swap around objects/params (using serialise) between processes to if required .. -- Chris Vinay wrote: > Hello friends, > > > No, it's not.
