These are interesting use cases, but they basically confirm to me that the PPID is only really useful for either determining if one’s parent has died or for some kind of best-effort attempt to infer the parent PID when you don’t control the parent process and therefore are unable to have it explicitly coordinate with you when forking. Thanks! | |
