6 mysql_waitpid - kill process and wait for its termination
7
9 mysql_waitpid [options] pid wait_time
10
12 mysql_waitpid signals a process to terminate and waits for the process
13 to exit. It uses the kill() system call and Unix signals, so it runs on
14 Unix and Unix-like systems.
15
16 Invoke mysql_waitpid like this:
17
18 shell> mysql_waitpid [options] pid wait_time
19
20 mysql_waitpid sends signal 0 to the process identified by pid and waits
21 up to wait_time seconds for the process to terminate. pid and
22 wait_time must be positive integers.
23
24 If process termination occurs within the wait time or the process does
25 not exist, mysql_waitpid returns 0. Otherwise, it returns 1.
26
27 If the kill() system call cannot handle signal 0, mysql_waitpid() uses
28 signal 1 instead.
29
30 mysql_waitpid supports the following options:
31
32 · --help, -?, -I
33
34 Display a help message and exit.
35
36 · --verbose, -v
37
38 Verbose mode. Display a warning if signal 0 could not be used and
39 signal 1 is used instead.
