My application collects all kind of information from crashing programs. It's installed in /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern. If program X is crashing it executes get_robust_list(X) to get the address of the robust list and reads the list from /proc/X/mem. Is there another way to get the robust list from another program (by it's pid)? -- Thanks, //richard -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
