Hi,<br>
<br>
I want to write a process (hopefully userspace) which will "watch"<br>
other processes and do something when a process dies. What is a good<br>
way to do this? A simple solution would be to have a stream/tcp<br>
connection between the watcher and other processes and when the<br>
connection is broken, you know the other side has died. Is there a<br>
better way to do this possibly involving a kernel mod?<br>
<br>
Thanks!!<br>
<br>
