Re: [PLUG] Mappings background pids to their exit status
|
hello,
>(from bash's builtins(1), not sure if this applies to >ksh)
Right after that, it says -
If pid is not an active process ID, the wait utility will return immediately and the return code will be 0.
Now, if the process crashed before the script reaches wait, it would still return the status 0. Thats the problem. I wish there was some other way to directly match the pid of a process against it's exit status.
Regards,
Suchindra
