I don't think that this provides anything like sufficient detail to justify merging a whole bunch of stuff into Linux. What does "It's immediately useful for batch job management scripts." mean? How is it useful? Examples? Why would an operator want this feature, and how would it be used? _much_ more information is needed! Once we've actually found out what this work is useful for, we can move onto identification of and discussion of alternatives. One would be "why not use plain old SIGSTOP?" Another alternative is, of course "that's not useful enough to justify merging the code". But we don't know yet, coz you didn't tell us. _______________________________________________ linux-pm mailing list linux-pm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.linux-foundation.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-pm
