I did not know this about OS X. Actually, the procfs is not something new. FreeBSD has it, too (maybe a bit different there). Anyway, we probably have to resort to locking at least for the generic start script (Webware comes with a bunch of different start scripts in the folder WebKit/Startscripts). But locking is also different on various platforms. We have to be careful to do it right. I found an article which may be helpful: http://www.unixreview.com/documents/s=1344/ur0402g/ I will try to come up with a solution based on that. -- Christoph ___ Webware-discuss mailing list Webware-discuss@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/webware-discuss

My impression is that /proc is a relatively recent innovation. Hardly! It's as old as the X window system. /proc first appeared in SVR4 in 1984. Solaris had it in version 2.5. OpenBSD has it. I'd be shocked if FreeBSD didn't, and I'm very surprised that OS/X doesn't. -- Tim Roberts, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Providenza Boekelheide, Inc. ___ Webware-discuss mailing list Webware-discuss@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/webware-discuss
Re: [Webware-discuss] webkit and PIDs
FreeBSD only provides part of /proc when linux compat is enabled.

Plenty of weird stuff came out with SVR4. Sensible people (and their operating systems) shunned these innovations for the architectural purity of the original BSD mechanisms. Sadly Linux has ushered in the age of *nix populism, and now everybody wants everything. Oliver P.S. http://www.kernelthread.com/mac/apme/procfs/ explains a bit about why OS X doesn't have it. ___ Webware-discuss mailing list Webware-discuss@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/webware-discuss ___ Webware-discuss mailing list Webware-discuss@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/webware-discuss
