a little question, is there any way to get a process current children count?
Yes, there is. But I can only think in a 'brute force' way: you can scan the /proc file-system. Let's say you want to know how many children the X process has. You open each '/proc/PID/status' and read the 'Ppid' field. If it's equals X, you count it. As I said, it's ugly, but I cannot think in another solution. You can try to read the code of 'pstree' program, but I guess it scans the /proc file-system too. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-c-programming" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
