Re: 12.2: fork() causing getline() to repeat stdin endlessly

fers first wasn't viable. I'd read the documentation carefully, or maybe design to avoid having to read that documnetation. What's probably going on is that under different circumstances the cache of the input is used differently. Maybe the MacOS libc is less prone to read-ahead. Without digging through the code or nominally-opaque FILE* structures, it's hard to say. But I'm pretty sure it's "intermittently the FILE was in a state that didn't cause problems", not "exit() intermittently flushes". Jon Leonard

Re: 12.2: fork() causing getline() to repeat stdin endlessly

ting copied to both processes in the fork() call. If you want to mix fork() and stdio, be sure to flush buffers before the call to fork. Depending on the task, it may be easier to use the underlying read() and write() calls. Jon Leonard

Re: How to prevent daemons from starting at boot after update?

One option would be to install and use systemd.

You may need to manually configure that behaviour, I don't know whether sys

First and foremost, double check that your SATA cables are properly secure. Install smartctl and run smartctl -a /dev/$disk0 (where $disk0 is e.g. sda); check to see if any of the various SMART attributes indicate a problem. Run a short, then a long SMART self test smartctl -t short /dev/$disk
