Why on earth would you use LinuxThreads rather than NPTL?  LinuxThreads
is obsolete and was never remotely POSIX compliant.

You have the strangest ideas of obsolete.  NPTL has only been usable
for two years.  Software lifecycles can be a lot longer than that.


I'm not telling you to stop supporting legacy apps, I'm just saying it's
insane to start a project now and target LinuxThreads rather than NPTL
which is what it sounded like the OP was doing.


Applications have to run on existing platforms and work with existing
software, as I'm sure you know.  If someone anywhere in the food chain
isn't ready for NPTL, a project can easily be stuck with LT for another
few years.


Thank you for your comments!

Unfortunately I cannot force the users to move into NPTL... So I thought I will create some kind of a workaround...

So back to my original question... Can I be notified if the main setuid?

My other solution is to poll the pid of the main program for this event.
