Hi all,
Just a quick question. The kill(2) man page says:
The kill() system call will fail and no signal will be sent if:
[ESRCH] The process id was given as 0 but the sending process
does not have a process group.
My question is: is this possible? I thought all processes have a process
group. POSIX also doesn't mention anything about this case specifically.
Shall I zap this?
