So i am implementing a mini C shell, it's supporting background processes. My idea was that for the background mode, the parent process doesn't wait for its children process to finish but rather register them in a job list and when they are done, i capture the SIGCHLD sig to empty their entry on my job list. Here's the code.

}
}
}
With this code i have two problems, first the sigchldHandler works and clean the list only if the BG command (let's say "ls &") is the very first one that was executed. second problem is that with my aptaches command (equivalent to shell jobs) the string of the command name for all processes always takes the last command value, why is that ? Here is a sample of execution so that you see what i am talking about.
