Re: Spawning and managing userprocess from kernel module

Hi Aurélien,

Yes, this is what you should. You are trying to do too much userspace
things in the kernel. Do all that stuff in userspace, and use one of
the many communication mechanisms to exchange informations with your
kernel module.

BTW, we could better help you if you described what you are trying to
do exactly.

Sincerly,

Thomas
