if(strcmp(temp->comm,"tester")==0)
{
temp->state = TASK_STOPPED;
> printk("<1> setting state = TASK_STOPPED for tester !\n");
}
Are you sure, statement temp->state = TASK_STOPPED is executed. Put one
printk there and check.
i had done that already, but didnt include that part of the code in the mail i had sent to the list.
task->state = STOPPED;
has executed for sure !
cheers,
