I have been trying to get the untamo idle daemon running on my IBM AT/Xenix 2.00 (somewhat Sys V). I have everything working, except for one slight problem. The untamo program uses vhangup, which my xenix does not have. I have (with the help of others) found a possible (I think) way around this: replace the vhangup call code that forks a process, assocites the forked process with the group of processes that should be killied, and then have the forked process do a kill(0,SIGHUP), nicely taking care of all the unwanted processes. I have been able to do everything except for getting the forked process associated with the process group. Avalible information is the terminal of the processes that need to be killed and the name of the user who owns the processes to be killed. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
