You cannot watch for all processes, only processes you created. After you fork, you can add a kqueue to watch for the new process' death, in lieu of waitpid() or a SIGCHLD signal. You cannot however sit there, watching for any random process' death. Mac OS X has no such mechanism, AFAIK.

kevents are perfectly capable of monitoring another, unrelated process. It's become quite a hobby of mine, actually. :) As far as getting the the new child's PID, I don't think it's possible using the kevent APIs from userland. (sys/event.h mentions "lower bits contain the PID of the child", but I think this is kernel-only.) Of course you could always iterate over the process list checking each process' parent PID... there's probably a better way, though. _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
