[PATCH ? 2/2] setpgid: should work for sub-threads

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

 



setpgid(0, pgid) or setpgid(forked_child_pid, pgid) does not work
unless the calling process is a thread_group_leader().

'man setpgid' does not tell anything about that, so I consider
this behaviour is a bug.
