rmacgreg@cs.strath.ac.uk (Sorcerer) (06/03/91)
Help! I am looking for a method of putting 2 processes in touch with each other. More specifically, I want to be able to find out an unrelated processes process number. I am working along the following lines: I want to install (or not as I wish) a number of DA's which can then communicate with each other and the main program running at the time via GEM's message passing system. I can get the message passing bit going fine, but getting the process ID of another process is different... Please reply via email to either of the addresses below as I'm in my exams just now so I'll miss any posted replies. PS: It must work by using documented methods available on ALL versions of TOS. The Sorcerer is 'Only visiting this planet' but can be found at: JANET: cadx862 @uk.ac.strathclyde.computer-centre-sun rmacgreg@uk.ac.strathclyde.computer-science INTERNET: via nsfnet-relay.ac.uk BITNET: via ukacrl UUCP: via ukc.uucp or second star to the right and straight on 'till morning.
