Hi,

Is there something in the Linux system environment that prevent an
application from 'exec' more then once.

I have a perl daemon running and creates a list environment variables
(as to not have to write and read from the hdd).  As I am still write on
the code,  I configured a signal handler that directed to a sub routine
that simply said "exec(this_program, @ARGV) and it works. It reloads the
edit code and remembers the %ENV's.  However it will only do it once.
Other sig handlers work repeated as expected.  I have tried it other
signals (USR1, USR2, etc) but I still get the same result.  Since this
deal with the process id table.  I thought maybe it had something to do
with limiting the number of time a process can be restarted under a
given PPID.

Any ideas ?

thanks in advance :-)
