hm the thing is, that the module doesn't know the pid of the user process... I would need a function, equivalent to the int kill(pid_t pid, int sig); function, defined in signal.h. Because by setting pid = -1 the signal is sent to every process except for process 1. Does there exist such a function for the kernel space? If not, does somebody know what other possibilities do I have? regards juergen > hi, > you can try > kill_proc(pid,SIGUSR1,1); > thx > --rahul > > On Tue, 2003-11-25 at 19:18, Juergen Oberhofer wrote: > > Hi, > > is there a function to send a SIGUSR1 signal from a kernel module to a > > program which > > runs in user space? > > Regards > > Juergen -- GMX Weihnachts-Special: Seychellen-Traumreise zu gewinnen!
