Re: Spawning and managing userprocess from kernel module

[DEGREMONT Aurelien <aurelien.degremont@xxxxxx>]

Yes, yes, I know this will be a lot simpler in user-space, but, if i 
trying to do this in kernel space, it is not because I'm masochist, but 
because I need it. If this is not possible or, it is really too 
difficult I will try to do otherwise, but I want to be sure before 
changing my plans. Say that i'm a heretic if I want to do that, or say 
it could be done this way or that way if you have some solutions :-)
