Re: [U2] anyone seen this error before?

2007-12-15 Thread Clifton Oliver
I don't know about perl, but I am *guessing* that would work. An  
early solution (circa 1997/8) was to use a little program written in  
C to do the same thing. I've have to search my records or the list  
archive to dig that out.


But it begs the question, why not just use PHANTOM? Are you assuming  
some doubling of processes or overhead that really isn't there? I'm  
not understanding why you would think hammering the process grp id is  
preferable to letting PHANTOM take care of it for you.


Maybe I'm missing a nuance here.

Hi Cliff,

Can I also simply wrap the UV process in something that changes the
pgid? (e.g.: the setpgrp command in perl)
