[comp.unix.aix] setpgid/setpgrp call on AIx v3.1

bsriniv@cadev1.intel.com (Bhaskar Srinivasan ~) (05/22/91)

Hi,

I have a problem with setpgid/setpgrp call on Aixv3.1. When I run the
following code on SunOSV4.0.2, I am able to change the process group id
of the process that exec`ed. On AixV3.1, I get an error from the
setpgid call,

	"setpgid: Not owner"

Does anybody know what is going on ? Any help is appreciated.

Thanx
Bhaskar
