I have a program that starts and stops a child process w/ STOP and CONT signals. Is there a way to do the same for any processes the child forks (i.e. grandchild, great grandchild, etc.)?
There is the concept of a process group. Maybe setpgrp/getpgrp will give a clue? All children, and their children, are part of the same process group. I think this is really coarse grained in that you can do things to all members of the process group, not just specific ones. But maybe you can use this to find who they are. Sorry I cannot say more. I have not really used this. -- Roger Oberholtzer OPQ Systems / Ramböll RST Ramböll Sverige AB Kapellgränd 7 P.O.
