Hi all,
I have made the following observation and wonder if this is a bug or such.
$ a := [[(Delay forSeconds: 300) wait] ensure: ['Terminated' printNl]] fork.
$ a terminate
Process(nil at userSchedulingPriority, ready to run)
$ a terminate
'Terminated'
Process(nil at userSchedulingPriority, terminated)
To work around such sticky processes I have decided to use a [proc
isTerminated] whileFalse: [proc terminate] construct.
regards
holger
