Can dejagnu follow a fork call?

[Don BREAZEAL]

Hi
I am new to dejagnu.  I've installed 1.4.4 on a Linux system (suse10, 
x86_64) and it appears to be working for the calc example.

I want to use dejagnu for testing of an interactive command line 
program.  This program is invoked using a driver (implemented in C), 
which does some command line processing, and eventually invokes Java.

When I implemented a test for this program, the only output that seems 
to come from it is the copyright header.  This header is printed by the 
driver, before invoking Java.

I can run the equivalent expect statements with the expect command 
interpreter (5.43.0) and it all works fine, so I don't think there's a 
problem with my expect code.

My conclusion is that there is something about dejagnu that causes it to 
lose the I/O connection to the forked child process (the Java part).  I 
think my 'send' and 'expect' commands are just talking to the driver, 
not the Java command line program that I want to test.

Is that a correct conclusion?

Is there any way to configure dejagnu to work with a process and its 
children?

thanks
