Yes. but...

...I have to start lots and lots of children (a variable amount) and the children will stay up way past their bed times ;-) (i.e. the children are packet simulators that never shut down).

So backticks are fine for simple output from something like grep, etc that you're planning on waiting for but not for what I have to do.

Biff
