NAME
mariadb-waitpid - kill process and wait for its termination (mariadb-waitpid is now a symlink to mariadb-waitpid)
SYNOPSIS
mariadb-waitpid [options]pidwait_time
DESCRIPTION
mariadb-waitpid signals a process to terminate and waits for the process to exit. It uses the kill() system call and Unix signals, so it runs on Unix and Unix-like systems.
Invoke mariadb-waitpid like this:
shell> \nmariadb-waitpid [\noptions\n] \npid\n \nwait_timemariadb-waitpid sends signal 0 to the process identified by pid and waits up to wait_time seconds for the process to terminate. pid and wait_time must be positive integers.
If process termination occurs within the wait time or the process does not exist, mariadb-waitpid returns 0. Otherwise, it returns 1.
If the kill() system call cannot handle signal 0, mariadb-waitpid() uses signal 1 instead.
mariadb-waitpid supports the following options:
Display a help message and exit.
Verbose mode. Display a warning if signal 0 could not be used and signal 1 is used instead.
Display version information and exit.
