dbg question

[Ulf Wiger]

Actually, is_pid/1 will only tell you that the type of
Pid is pid(). Use is_process_alive(Pid) to find out if
it is still there.

Eshell V5.3  (abort with ^G)
1> Pid = spawn(fun() -> exit(normal) end).
<0.31.0>
2> is_pid(Pid).
true
3> is_process_alive(Pid).
false
4> Pid2 = spawn(fun() -> timer:sleep(30000) end).
<0.35.0>
5> is_process_alive(Pid2).
true
