I have not found a good way to do this, but the following features cam
be used to do it:
1. sending kill to any process with ecx=0 will return its status, this
contains the parent process.
2. It is possible to walk through all the process by using the /proc
file system.
AsmLib has functions to walk the /proc file system and return status
of a process. I think most programs keep track of their processes and
do not need to do a search.
My kernel documentation says the PID's are assigned by increment the
parent id? If this is true it is possible to do a quick search for children
by encrementing the parent id and checking status?
all the best, jeff
