Subject: Process control requirements
Independent "light-weight" thread programming is already fairly well defined in the POSIX threads standard - some links:
http://www.llnl.gov/computing/tutorials/workshops/workshop/pthreads/MAIN.html
http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/7908799/xsh/threads.html
Apart from process creation, functions manipulating process should map to pthread functions so that user code can easily be created in a C and SV compatible (polymorphic) way, and it may simplify implementation.
The minimum required subset of pthread functionality is the ability to log a thread's ID as it is created, and then use that ID to stop,restart and kill the process, and a method for checking it's existance (overloads "kill" in pthreads).
Kev.
