The problem is still getting the return code from the spawned process.

&gt; I use
&gt; a similar thing to delete player-recognition files - system("rm -f
&gt; -r ../known/*/Kavir &amp;"); or whatever.  I really need to find some
&gt; effective way to pack info about everyone you know into a single
&gt; file, yet have a decent way of removing all knowledge of you from
&gt; everyone elses file when you die...

I suggest using a variation on reference counting where every data node
keeps a pointer to what that node refers to, what objects know
about that data node, and objects keep a list of all that data nodes
that reference that object.

From there its just a matter of iterating across the appropriate lists
and cleaning up.
