- In my ISIS application a process has to join a process group. It has to get
- some data from the group. I didnt put that in the state transfer routine
- because I am also using logging and I dont want all this data to be passed
- during logging. To get around problem, what I am doing is join the group and
- then get the data separately. But this causes a problem. I start getting
- requests even before I have transferred this data. How can I avoid this?
- Is there anyway of blocking requests after the pg_join till I explicitly
- allow the requests to come? Or is there anyway of running this job even
- before the pg_join returns? Note that I am not doing this pg_join in the
- maintask. Then the solution would have been simple. I am doing this in an
- entry.

- Thank you.
