Manuel,
It seems my 'free' time has been allocated for me.. (at least for the
next day). I was able to come up with this work-around for progress-bar.sh
I won't have time to fully test this out but it looks ok, could you
though this code into the svn and test it. This replaces fuser
completely in the script.
---cut---
makePID=$(fuser -v . 2>&1 | grep make)
makePID=$(echo $makePID | cut -d" " -f2)
---end cut---
mypid=$$
# A small ugly.. make is my parent (not root), get its PID
makePID=`(cat /proc/$mypid/stat) | cut -d " " -f5`
don't commit this code Manuel.. it works most of the time but not all
of the time. If locked up during an overnight build. Back to the
drawing board.. *sigh*
***
Strictly speaking I am testing the process group id (from man /proc) but
that seems to work
