# script to watch for cores during QA runs, so they won't overwrite one

# another

# Not activated for efficiency reasons, and problems on MKS, us

# only when needed and remember to remove afterwards

#############################################################

#############################################################

# to activate put the following into all.sh (after the HOSTDIR

# has been exported

#############################################################

# sh `dirname $0`/core_watch $HOSTDIR ${HOSTDIR} &

# CORE_WATCH_PID=$!

# if [ -n "${KILLPIDS}" ]

# then

#     echo $CORE_WATCH_PID >>"${KILLPIDS}"

# fi

#############################################################

# or put the following into nssqa to watch the whole RESULTDIR

# start it shortly before run_all

# NOTE: the more efficient way is above, this is potentially going

# thru 1000ds of files every 30 seconds

#############################################################

# sh `dirname $0`/core_watch $RESULTDIR &

# echo $! >>"${KILLPIDS}"        #so Exit() can hopefully kill the core_watch

#############################################################

# in both cases remember to kill the process when done, since

# the PIDs that end up in ${KILLPIDS} might not work for all OS

# something like "kill_by_name core_watch

echo $$ >>"${KILLPIDS}"     #so Exit() can hopefully kill this shell
