Subject: wait for non-child PID
Date: 26 Jul 2000 18:06:54 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <hvoaef56z0x.fsf@serein.m17n.org> (raw)

I heard that wait has a problem if the argument is non-child PID.

For example,

% wait 1

blocks forever.  (It is interruptible.)

bash detects that the PID is not child of the shell.

bash-2.04$ wait 1
bash: wait: pid 1 is not a child of this shell
