I have a process in which I want to start 'n' sub processes. i.e. at some stage in my main process, the user is able to initiate 1 or more sub-processes. Once all these processes are complete, the main process is ready to move on. I can see how to create a fixed number of sub-processes using a fork, but what approach should be used to create any number sub-processes? As an example, a user would like to send a draft document to any number of 'editors' for checking. Once all the editors have completed their work, the document can be finalised.
