    Post Please help in Making a Fork() call and have the instances run every five minutes

    Hi All,

    I am new to C programming,Please guide me in understanding Fork() calls.

    I have to write a C program in UNIX machine, and make two Fork Calls Inside it and have these two instances run every five minutes all round the clock.

    How to achieve this.

    I just need an Abstract Idea. Any help is much appreciated.

    Thanks in Advance.

    Code:
    […]
    while (1) {
        /* fork child */

        if ( /* end_trigger */ ) break;
        sleep(300);
    }
[…]
