An alternate way might be to use semaphores, but I can't see how to do that using the standard PGSemaphores implementation: it appears to depend on cooperating processes inheriting a copy of the postmaster's heap. And since the POSIX semaphores default to unnamed ones, it appears this idea is also a dead end unless my impressions are dead wrong... -- Kevin Brown [EMAIL PROTECTED] ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: subscribe and unsubscribe commands go to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
