Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG This might be a stupid question, but is there a way to run a process under a specified (unused) pid? It's not really for any good reason, but I'm rather curious, since I know certain basic services always claim the same pid when you reboot, and I don't think that's just because they fall into place that way. ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ michael lieberman disowned@flitr.nu To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
