Thanks for the info, but the devices encumbered with ioctls are the tricky
ones and even if they can be sorted out I'm sure there are some other traps
out there. Too bad there are no RFS gurus lurking here to offer their wisdom
on remoting devices.
I'm no RFS guru, thank deity, but I did

Would this answer your question:

Well, it answers the question What is the DTrace so-called deadman
mechanism? I think.
That's a sort of part of a possible solution, which is OK.
To be pedantic, it's not a true deadman mechanism,
Wow.
Excellent us of tools.
The smallest arbitrary-columns answer I could come up with was:
awk '{if(m NF)m=NF;for(i=1;i=NF;i++)r[NR, i]=$i}END {for(i=1;i=m;i+
+){for(j=1;j=NR;j++)printf %s , r[j,i];print }}' t
I'm sure there's an insane sed solution out there somewhere for very

Also I'm fairly certain that a disproportionately large number of

You may think it's a question of money (you mentioned it is for free).
It's not. There are many projects out, totally for free, but reliable.
When I do something it must be reliable, or it's worth criticizing.
Firstly if sources goes down, no-one dies so it's not a big deal.

Shared libraries do 2 possibly useful things:

that I wanted to implement was a note thief process that would

externally using a different kind of IPC
This gets punted around every few months and nothing happens.
