If it cannot be done, than Linux blows because windows does it NO
problem. I say it can be done, how else does "cd" work? I've had 2
people on linux.misc and COLA say it is not possible. If they are right
than that is TOTALLY retarded.
I suspect the key is something like this:
pid_t parent;
parent = getppid():
But I'm not sure because I'm not a linux programmer. If anyone who is
actually knowledgeable in Linux programming can comment, please do so
otherwise my great "hm" command will be a pipe dream for Linux and exist
only on .NET and Windows.
