Hello,
I have been working on a intergrated billing module for digital unix and 
our billing software. I wrote a C program which, inside, are nested 
several digital unix adduser/deluser shell scripts. This C program is 
called upon by the billing module ( written in perl ) when 
adding/deleting users. Therefore I have a run-time script running a 
compiled prrgram with run-time shell scripts nested inside. ( havent lost 
anyone yet ??? :-) )
My problem is this, when I run the C program as stand alone, all works 
out well. When I have the billing module run the same C program, one of 
the shell scripts core dumps with a "Segmentation fault, signal 11". 
However the C programs continues meerly on its way and so does the module.
Any ideas why the nesting som many programs is causing one of the scripts 
to core ??? Anyway to allocate more memory to the program/scripts so it 
doesnt happen. Could it be a kernel " maximum allowed open files" problem ???
Thanks in advanced and will summerise too.
p.s. I am still relatively new to programming so go easy on me please :-)
