POSIX real-time signals allow an int or pointer's-worth of data to be sent along with the signal which is then queued and also carries the sender's uid, gid and pid. See the "Real-time Signals" section of signal(7) for the care needed to select an unused rt signal number and see sigqueue(3) for how to send them. --Malcolm -- Malcolm Beattie Mainframe Systems and Software Business, Europe IBM UK ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For more information on Linux on System z, visit http://wiki.linuxvm.org/
