Aucbvax.5117 fa.unix-wizards utzoo!decvax!ucbvax!unix-wizards Wed Nov 11 14:49:43 1981 games program >From RAM@MIT-MC Wed Nov 11 14:08:54 1981 when my game player starts up it forks a watchdog before selecting the game. When fido wakes up if the load is too high he barks and a minute later bites. Since I have a small machine and limit games to times when no more than 3 users are logged in, I tolerate one watchdog for each game. Standard demon methods would work as well but weren't worth my effort. --bob morris
