- OK, time for a question from the brain-dead.
-
- I have two Unix processes: one sends a burst of signals to the
- other. The receiving process misses several of these signals -
- i.e. they don't get 'queued up'.
-
- I know I could set up a kluge with a semaphore to act as an up-down
- counter, but I was hoping for a more elegant solution. This is
- on a Sparcstation 4 running SunOS 4.1.1.
-
- Any suggestions ?
-
- Many thanks,
