I've found that most command shells catch this signal and try to terminate as quickly as possible. This applies to unconventional shells like IBM's UniVerse and JBases (both are dialects of Pick running on Unix). If you have a number of processes stuck and you need to try to kill them as gently as possible, the HUP signal is a good starting point. The HUP signal can be very handy.

How to find out what an application requires for swap rather than the operating system would be very useful and how memory is allocated to processes. Great series so far.

I don't know how Jerry would be able to getdeeper on IPC at the shell level, I guess you'll need a more complete programming language for message passing, queues, semaphores and shared memory .

I need processes that can talk to each other and exchange data.... now if we can only have an article on inter process communication.

I need processes that can talk to each other and exchange data….
