I suppose I could. However, since I use get_linked_processes() for other things too, I made a library function out of it several months ago. When I answered the question, I just cut and pasted the library function.<br><br>
When giving code examples, the easier they are to read, the better. I don't doubt that the receiving reader could have made that substitution themselves.<br><br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, May 30, 2008 at 6:47 AM, Hynek Vychodil <<a href="mailto:vychodil.hynek@gmail.com">vychodil.hynek@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br>

Now, I am aware that a process exit signal is transmitted in a functionally similar manner, so it seems that at least some form of "broadcast to all linked processes" operation exists within the runtime. But is it possible to invoke such functionality directly from source code?<br>

<br>I suspect that process_info() isn't particularly cheap, so I recommend reconsidering the bookkeeping.<br><br> - John<br> </div></div>---<br>GuaranteedVPS.com - bandwidth commitments and root starting from $12.98/mo
