Does anybody know how to set things up so a process started from csh with an & will die when the user logs out? Is there something I need to do with SIGHUP signal handling? I've tried everything I can think of. My only other thought is that it just never ever gets the signal. My other question is if a process can check the status of its parent -- to check to see if the parent still exists. All the calls I've found only allow a process to check and/or wait on its children (the wait(), wait3(), wait4(), and waitpid() calls under SunOS 4.1). Thanks, Andrew.
