[erlang-questions] [gproc] How to broadcast message to all other processes except self

[Ulf Wiger]

The function gproc:send/2, when used on a non-unique key, in essence does this:

   lists:foreach(fun(Pid) ->
                                        Pid ! Msg
                          end, gproc:lookup_pids(Key)),

So you can take that as a starting point, and add a clause that pattern-matches on the own pid, and then doesn't send a message in that case.
