Subject: IPC (or how to "bounce" a running zsh?)
Date: Wed, 22 Dec 2004 22:59:50 -0500 (EST) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <200412230359.iBN3xoB06479@panix3.panix.com> (raw)
Is there any mechanism for interprocess communication in which at
least one of the processes is a running zsh?
TIA!
kj
P.S. The context of this question is the problem of "bouncing" a
running zsh, i.e. telling it somehow to re-source the appropriate .z*
files (according to whether or not it is an interactive/login shell).
(I realize that I could solve this problem by adding one more task to
my poor overworked preexec or precmd, and coax it to do a "poor man's
IPC", namely to check for the presence of a sentinel file, perform the
appropriate re-sourcing, and delete the sentinel; this opens the
possibility of a race condition, but I'm sure there is a way to deal
with it.)
