Process run-time timeouts
The process group of a child process can be controlled by setting the
group
slot of a
process
tuple:
•
+same-group+
•
+new-group+
•
+new-session+
The default value is
+same-group+
, which denotes that the child process should be part of the process group of the parent process. The
+new-group+
option creates a new process group, while the
+new-session+
creates a new session.
