How to fork a Titan process [message #1771014]

Hello All,

I have a question regarding the way to handle a fork operation on a TITAN test suite process:
1) first of all, is it possible to do a fork?
2) If so, haw can I duplicate the handles such as the handles for the logging and so on?
3) Is there some constraint when the child process ended?

Many thanks for your help,

Best regard,

Yann

What exactly would like to do?

- Execute an exeternal/OS command from TTCN code?
- Create a TTCN component?
- Duplicate the current TTCN component?

Hello,

The point is that I need to run a background task but a TITAN process is not thread safe. So, my idea is to duplicate the process and execute in the child process my background task.

Thanks a lot,

Best regards,

Yann
