G'day All

I have some code that kicks in when a person 1) Connects, 2) Quits / DC'd, /
LD, etc....

Part of the code includes writing something to a file (yes, each time the
function is called).

This is sorta lagging the mud a bit.
Especially when it's trying to write the contents of one of the linked lists
to a file, and the linked list contains easily 100+ structures over time....


What i was hoping to do, was to call that function as a seperate process? Is
this forking?  If so, can i do this function completly seperate from the game
loop so it doesn't effect the game?

Thank you kindly folks.
