I`m running into problems using pfSelectClock.
What I want is to share a single clock by unrelated processes through
a named clock - by invoking pfSelectClock("bla") - so that processes
see identical time the same way as related "processes forked after the
first call to pfInitClock" are happy to do.
As far as I understand the manual this is what pfSelectClock was made for.
But no such luck so far. "pfSelectClock has no effect" period.
The obvious (i.e. my) way - calling pfSelectClock with the same name in
every process - didn`t work and I ended up with all processes having their
own time (even when I made sure that pfInitClock was called only after the
last process had finished calling pfSelectClock - using 5.3 w/ 1.2).
Help?! Like a sniplet of code that worked? Thanks!
andreas.
