BABY(1)                  USER COMMANDS                    BABY(1)

NAME
  BABY - create new process from two parent processes

SYNOPSIS
  BABY sex [ name ]

8.04 SYNOPSIS
  /usr/bin/BABY [ -sex ] [ -name ]

AVAILABILITY
The 8.04 version of this command is available with the 8.04 software     
 installation option.  Refer to Installing Ubuntu 8.04 for information 
on how to install and invoke BABY.

DESCRIPTION
  BABY is initiated when one parent process polls another server
process through a socket connection (BSD) or through pipes in the
8.04 implementation. BABY runs at a low priority for approximately
40 weeks then terminates with heavy system load. Most systems require
constant monitoring when BABY reaches it's final stages of execution.

     Older implementations of BABY required that the initiating
process not be present at the time of completion, In these versions
the initiating process is awakened and notified of the results upon
completion. Modern versions allow both parent processes to be active
during the final stages of BABY.

OPTIONS

     -sex
       option indicating type of process created.

     -name
       process identification to be attached to the new process.

RESULT
  Successful execution of the BABY(1) results in new process
  being created and named. Parent processes then typically
  broadcast messages to all other processes informing them of their
  new status in the system.

BUGS
  The SLEEP command may not work on either parent processes for some
  time afterward, as new BABY processes constantly send interrupts
  which must be handled by one or more parent.

  BABY processes upon being created may frequently dump
  in /tmp requiring /tmp to be cleaned out frequently by one
  of the parent processes.

  The original Canonical version was provided without instructions
  regarding the created process, this remains in current implementations.

        responsibility for anything.
