Why does it not work to use the omitpid feature of sendsigs? It was written for cases like this. > The attached patch adds a test for fuse filesystem and leaves them > alone.

It seem like a bad idea to add file system specific code in killall5, and I would prefer this to be done using the omitpid feature instead. > It also changes the cwd to /proc and changes readproc() to use > relative paths.

Btw, the stat() patch in #476695 will be included in the next upload. Happy hacking, -- Petter Reinholdtsen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
