Hi I read about call_usermodehelper. But the problem is that is there any way to know the process we called using call_usermodehelper is finished or not? What is exit status? Because the next statement I am executing in my program must be executed when call_usermodehelper has finished its work. So I am not able to do this synchronization using call_usermodehelper().
