I'm working on an ACL framework that snaps in under the various *info files. Could someone please tell me if it is possible (without patching the CVS code) to obtain the CVS pid? I can do this when the server is being accessed via, e.g., :pserver: or :ext: or :server:--the current directory for all *info files is something like /tmp/cvsserv-3093 where 3093 is the pid. But for the local case that won't work. Also I thought I could get this via the getppid() (get parent's pid) function in C and perl, but apparently the same process does not invoke all *info subprocesses! How odd. Any comments welcome. Cheers, Laird
