- Can anyone tell me how to detect the death of a PARTICULAR child?
- I'm writing my own shell. I can send processes off into the background
- fine. I've got a bg and a fg command that both work ok. But I need to know
- when a background process is done so I can remove it's entry from a list.
- I hope I've articulated my problem well enough....so if anyone can help
- I would appreciate it.
