I'm new to usenet news, so forgive me if this has been covered before... How can a process tell if it is running in the background? I've tried using isatty() and signal(), but to no avail. Any suggestions? -- ---- Jim Ruppert, EEG Systems Laboratory 1855 Folsom St, San Francisco, Ca 94103 (415) 621-8343 {ihnp4,dual,qantel}!ptsfa!eeg!jim
