If the system that spawned the process dies, then so does the process. The MOSIX stubs just marshall data, and in most cases for simple things call directly to the kernel that the process has migrated towards. I would really like to see a port of bproc to parisc :) (I figure on ~100 lines of assembly to get process state information). I spoke to Donald Becker at OLS about this, and it's on my todo list... might get done in September. c.
