Hello,

I Could not figure out what "process group hack" is supposed to be
utilized for ??
Is it used to supervise daemons that stubbornly fork into the background.
Could anyone please explain with an example, i would be really helpful.
I have to the best of my abilities RTFM'ed and searched the internet.

Thank you,
Harish
