Unkillable process because of using semaphores?

Hi,

I have some code, to which I added usage of posix semaphores. I am
working on a solaris platform. After doing that, my process becomes
unkillable, that is it will not terminate if sent a SIGTERM signal.
I am not ignoring that signal. Just adding this code related to
semaphores seems to be causing this problem. None of my threads is
sleeping indefinitely on any semaphore wait.
Any help will be appreciated.
If this is not the right group for this question, it would be great if
someone could guide me to the right group.

Thanks,
Nish.

I'd try comp.unix.solar is first, even before coming here.

Howdy, I want to know how to tell if a forked process is done. Actually, my real question is that I want to run a shell script inside of a python script, and after the shell script has finished running, I want to do more stuff *condition* on the fact that the shell script has finished running, inside the same python script. The only way I can think of is to fork a process and then call the

Hi everybody For a project of system programming, we need to use semaphores, but i got some pbs... when I compile, i get perror with sem_open("machin", O_CREAT, 0666, 0); and perror says function not implemented ... on a sun, i get perror : Invalid argument... another question : what's the max number of semaphores a process can create??

Hello, I would like to know if posix semaphores are inter processes or just semaphores for threads inside the same process. I have not seen it defined in the posix specification I have found, but I have maybe missed something. Thanks in advance.

I have a requirement to run two separate postmasters on the one machine. It looks like they compete for resources (semaphores) so won't run concurrently.

Hi, I'm doing an IT degree at university, and my lecturer's do not teach m$ technologies. I was wondering if anyone could point me to the implementation of mutex's and semaphores in .net? Or the microsoft equivalent of them.

In Linux this is easy with 'signal' and 'kill' but how can I get one Python process to signal another (possibly running as a service)? All I need is a simple prod with no other data being sent and none being returned - except that the signal was delivered. Receiving a signal should generate an interrupt. I'm not looking for a solution the involves polling. Thanks
