note 115035 added to function.posix-kill

Posix_kill is not so reliable (it seems it always deliver the signal - even 0 to a no existing process - and doesn't generate an error). I found this way to check the existence of a process, using /proc: if(!file_exists("/proc/$pid/cmdline" obviously check the permissions . ---- Server IP: 87.124.126.49 Probable Submitter: 81.133.203.238 ---- Manual Page -- http://php.net/manual/en/function.posix-kill.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/115035 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/115035/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/115035/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/115035/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/115035/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/115035/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/115035/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/115035 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/115035 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
