Ted,
How are you creating the son process? Are you using the "create"
intrinsic? If so, are you setting the loadflag to reactivate the parent?
CA CA I16 I16V U16V I16V I16V I16V
U16V I16V
CREATE(formaldesig,entryname,pin,parm,loadflags,stacksize,dlsize,maxdata,pri
orityclass,rank);
loadflags 16-bit unsigned integer by value (optional)
Specifies the loading options as follows:
Bits VaIue/Meaning
15:1 Active
0 Calling process not activated when the new process terminates
1 The system reactivates the calling process (parent) when the new process
terminates
Default: 0

Subject: Activate dying process
Greetings,
I've a program I want to run as a child process, activating it
periodically
to have it do some work for me. All this works fine. When I am done with
it,
however, I'd like to call it one more time, telling it to clean up and quit.
This also works fine *except* that when it quits, my process never gets
reactivated.
I know that this can be done, as Qedit will do exactly what I'm looking
for
right down to getting itself reactivated when the program quits, but all my
RTFMing has not yet allowed me to dope out what, perzactly, I should do to
make
this happen. Any advice (even advice on the subject) gladly accepted.
TIA,
Ted

ahead one of those terrible exercises in probability where six men have
white hats and six men have black hats and you have to work it out by
mathematics how likely it is that the hats will get mixed up and in what
proportion. If you start thinking about things like that, you would go round
the bend. Let me assure you of that!"
