Andrew, It depends on what your user mode helper program is intended to do, but the traditional approach is to create a user mode program that blocks on a custom system call waiting for an event. See the following 2001 freebsd-hackers thread from Terry Lambert, titled "Invoking a userland function from kernel" for further details and design considerations: http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/mid.cgi?3B646AAB.688669C5 Regards, James _______________________________________________ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
