Re: Finding out when a process has died

Hi,

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

Thanks!!

Hi, I think you can make use of user-defined signal handlers. Regards, Rohan Puri
