|
|
euid=
|
Process.euid= aFixnum
|

|
|
exit!
|
Process.exit!( aFixnum=-1 )
|

No exit handlers are run.
aFixnum is returned to the underlying system as the exit
status.
|
|
fork
|
Process.fork [{ block }
]
-> aFixnum or nil
|
|
See
Kernel::fork
on page 416.

|
getpgid
|
Process.getpgid( anInteger )
-> anInteger
|
|
Returns the process group id for the given process id.
Not available on all platforms.

getpriority
|
Process.getpriority( aKind,
anInteger ) -> aFixnum
|
|
Gets the
scheduling priority for specified process, process group, or
user. aKind indicates the kind of entity to find:
one of
Process::PRIO_PGRP
,
Process::PRIO_USER
, or
Process::PRIO_PROCESS
.
anInteger is an id indicating the particular process,
process group, or user (an id of 0 means current).
Lower priorities are more favorable for
scheduling. Not available on all platforms.

|
gid=
|
Process.gid= aFixnum
-> aFixnum
|
|
Sets the group id for this process.
|
|
kill
|
Process.kill( aSignal,
[
aPid
]+
) -> aFixnum
|
|
Sends the given signal to the specified process id(s),
or to the
current process if aPid is zero. aSignal may be an
integer signal number or a POSIX signal name (either with or
without a SIG prefix). If aSignal is negative (or
starts with a ``-'' sign), kills process groups instead
of processes. Not all signals are available on all platforms.
trap("SIGHUP") { close_then_exit }
Process.kill("SIGHUP", 0)
|
|
|
pid
|
Process.pid -> aFixnum
|
|
Returns the process id of this process.
Not available on all platforms.
|
|
ppid
|
Process.ppid -> aFixnum
|
|
Returns the process id of the parent of this process.
Always returns 0 on NT.
Not available on all platforms.
print "I am ", Process.pid, "\n"
Process.fork { print "Dad is ", Process.ppid, "\n" }
|
produces:
|
|
setpgid
|
Process.setpgid( aPid, anInteger )
-> 0
|
|
Sets the process group id of aPid (0 indicates this
process) to anInteger.
Not available on all platforms.
|
|
setpgrp
|
Process.setpgrp
-> 0
|
|
Equivalent to setpgid(0,0).
Not available on all platforms.

waitpid
|
Process.waitpid( aPid,
anInteger=0 )
-> aPid
|
|

a logical or of the flag value
Process::WNOHANG
(do not block if no child available)
or
Process::WUNTRACED
(return stopped children that haven't
been reported).
Not all flags are available on all platforms, but a flag value
of zero will work on all platforms.
