Subject: apid as a list
Date: Mon, 19 Aug 1991 12:54:58 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <91Aug19.125506cdt.22531@archone.tamu.edu> (raw)
It's been suggested that $apid should be a list of all backgrounded jobs,
and that as soon as rc's wait builtin receives the exit status of an exiting
child, the appropriate $apid list entry should be removed.
I have certainly noticed myself writing code like:
foo &
apids=$apid
bar &
apids=($apid $apids)
...
kill $apids
I will probably implement this in a trial fashion, and ignore it if it is
too much work, but it doesn't look like it would be too hard. Any comments?
