I'm trying to send a signal (STOP) via kill() to a process group which includes the calling process. However, I do not want the calling process to receive the stop also. I'm running under SunOS 4.1. According to my man pages, specifying a negative group id when calling kill() should do the trick but it doesn't work. The calling process also gets stopped. Any ideas short of searching through all of the processes for ones that belong to the desired process group? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Lee Hetherington MIT Spoken Language Systems Group -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
