I'm currently developing a Game for unix style systems. I'm currently having troubles with my daemon. Lets say someone did a 'kill -9' on the terminal that is talking to the daemon. Ok for one the terminal dies. Two the daemon goes nuts and eats CPUtime like you wouldn't believe. I do check for errors reading & writing to the terminal, but somehow the daemon still goes running like mad. Yes, I close() the socket and unmask it from the mask. I'm confused! Any ideas! Oh, of course I'm not 'root' so I cannot use msgctl(). Paul. p.s. I currently use BSD 4.2 on a Sequent (8 parallel processors).
