Subjectbehavior of overwriting running executables?
Date
From

This is has always been an issue with linux kernels.

If I write to a running program, I get "text file busy".

I think sunos seamlessly moves the executable to an unnamed inode, leaving a reference to
it while its running, then transparently does an unlink when its done.

Opinions/comments?
