Re: [Patch][RFC] fcntl: add ability to stop monitored processes

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



How about this?  Its the same feature, with an added check in fcntl_dirnotify to
ensure that only processes with CAP_SYS_ADMIN set can tell processes preforming
the monitored actions to stop.
