n.,vi. 1. [techspeak] In Unix parlance, to create a child process from within a process. Technically this is a fork ; the term spawn is a bit more general and is used for threads (lightweight processes) as well as traditional heavyweight processes. 2. In gaming, meant to indicate where ( spawn-point ) and when a player comes to life (or re-spawns ) after being killed. Opposite of frag.
