Hi. What's the best fast means of telling if a reference to a proc structure is still valid? I'm needing this for the work on privileges that I'm doing. (Specifically, there are circumstances where an action initiated by a process that then exits may be a privileged one, and may not get to the point of checking the privileges before the exit takes place.)
