(I assume this is the Unix semantics issue that Clint mentioned,
please let me know if I've overlooked the real point.)
I did add a function "wait" that takes a pid. Does it not exist any
more? This is the documentation for it:
wait(pid, options) : status -- Wait for process to terminate or stop
The options argument is a string constructed from the following characters:
"n" NOHANG - don't wait for a child to terminate (wait will fail
if there are no more)
"u" UNTRACED - report status for untraced children also
The return value is a string that represents the pid and the exit
status as defined in this table:
Unix equivalent example of returned string
WIFSTOPPED(status) "1234 stopped:SIGTSTP"
WIFSIGNALLED(status) "1234 terminated:SIGHUP"
WIFEXITED(status) "1234 exit:1"
WIFCORE(status) "1234 terminated:SIGSEGV:core"
Currently the rusage facility is unimplemented.
Defaults: pid Wait for all children
-s
