- All,
- Running SunOS4.1.1 on a sun4. Is there any fool proof way to tell
- the state of a process, if the proc * is handy, during interrupt time? (ie.
- is the process alive, or has it died) Specifically, during a VME bus
- interrupt. Is the process structure locked in memory, and located at the
- same VIRTUAL memory location?
-
- Thanks in advance,
- - Alex Waterman
