Re: Precedence/Prototypes - Re^2: Detecting when a child process is killed unexpectedly

Regarding SIGSTOP (& SIGCONT), they are not an issue since waitpid() will only return stop/cont indications if called with the WUNTRACED argument. I should not have checked WIFSTOPPED at all.

Regarding the usage of "exists", you are quite correct, and I am humbled.
