Hi everyone,
Please look at the result of this command ...
ps jak sid and ps jaxk sid
Notice the grouping for the SID column.
It's been proven that this patch is a good idea, but the SID number is the one that already provides the proper process grouping and is ALREADY maintained by every program starter out there.
Using the SID solves the "all GUI programs are in the same group" problem but still keeps "make -j99" in one group and different [a-z]terms in different groups. What's more setsid(1) and setsid(2) make userspace control really easy.
I think this means the time for allocating a new autogroup is when the process DETACHES from a tty not when it attaches ...
