I've posted the next version of bproc (0.1.0) in the usual places:
http://beowulf.gsfc.nasa.gov/software/bproc.html
http://beowulf.gsfc.nasa.gov/software/bproc-0.1.0.tar.gz
ftp://beowulf.gsfc.nasa.gov/pub/software/bproc-0.1.0.tar.gz
Here's the changelog for this release:
Changes from 0.0.3 to 0.1.0
* Sparc32 support added to VMADump. (The rest of bproc is still
x86-only but that should change soon.)
* Updated "dumpcheck" program so that it agrees with VMADump on
the output format.
* Fixed typo that caused slave nodes to crash when children of PID
masqueraded processes exited.
* Added support (not highly tested) for process group and session
ID operations. This allows job control to work on remote jobs
(i.e. ctrl-z, bg, fg)
* Fixed wait behavior: Local parent processes with remote children
can now wait() on children and wake up when the child is stopped.
(Previously would only work when the child exited.)
* Moved signal delivery into the kernel.
* Master and slave daemons cleaned up some more. Still not very
nice though.
* libbproc updated, dynamic version available. Also, can now "make
install" to install as a proper library. (#include <sys/bproc.h>
and -lbproc)
