Thanks for the reminder, I've closed the PR. BTW, I have looked briefly at implementing wait_for_pids with pwait. The only complication I see at the moment is that wait_for_pids actually takes a list of pids rather than just one, so setting that up will complicate things slightly, but it should not be an overwhelming burden. It will just take more time than I can devote to it at the moment. Doug -- Improve the effectiveness of your Internet presence with a domain name makeover! http://SupersetSolutions.com/
