Hi,

I gotta RH box which has to run some kind of a
monitoring process in background and in the meanwhile
a menu system on the screen.

I did something like this:

    thread() // menu system
        fork() // monitoring process
        {
            execl() // required part of the monitoring process to change
the monitored destination
            ;
        }

Everything works fine but the thread goes into the background and I lose

the control over the console. In other words, I lose the menus.

Any idea how to fix this?

Thanks,
Adrian
