Just a little note about this patch. This part:
+ /* Did we find it? */
+ if (!c || c->pid != msg->service_pid) {
+ syslog(LOG_ERR, "can't find pid %d to process message %d",
+ msg->service_pid, msg->message);
+ return;
We found that this actually occured quite-regularly, especially on a dual
proc machine. It seems that the child can be reaped by the master before the
master receives the message from the child. So I don't know if it should be
logged as an error, or just ignored...
