How can : communicate the child with its parent ? : One option could be through a file but it would be slow. : A second one would be to include the share memory C functions (shmget, etc) : in the runtime. Do you think it's worth trying ? Another possible way is through a database table. The child process writes data to that table, while the parent process reads data from that table. Certainly less hassle and totally portable, as opposed to the shared memory stuff. Since you have database programs anyway, the overhead associated with the database link is minimal.
