It already works like that.

PID's

2001-06-05 Thread android

This is probably a mundane question, but...

Is there a way to recycle unused PID's without rebooting the kernel?
So instead of the next available PID always getting larger and larger,
just reset it to use the first unused PID after 1. Is this possible?

Is there a way to recycle unused PID's without rebooting the kernel?
So instead of the next available PID always getting larger and larger,
just reset it to use the first unused PID after 1. Is this possible?
