I will second this request for a technique.
I have been scanning Steven's looking for a solution. The only solution I
have seen uses threads. The fundamental problem with this is how to clean
up the thread nicely. Aborting a thread is the equivalent of kill -9; No
hope to clean anything up, just recover the memory and move on.
Suggestions are very welcome from the experienced Unix side of the house. :-)
