hi masand,

to prevent another process.

I have to implement a program A that can prevent process B from being killed.
And I can kill B with A by passing A some command...
Both A and B are background application.

I don't know how to do it.

Regards.

hi there

why don't u try masking the signals
ignore SIGHUP signal etc

i am not so much in to programming, but i think it can be done that way

have a look at

man signal

A superuser (root) can kill any process as far as I know. Not like Windows where some processes are somehow more important then me.

Also, it's not possible to ignore SIGKILL, so I'm not sure that this is possible.
