Re: [bug-myserver] waitpid timeout

[Giuseppe Scrivano]

It looks like a good solution!  I haven't thought to use libevent with
processes but I am still a bit afraid about portability.
Unfortunately is a completely different mechanism than on Windows, where
it is possible to specify a timeout, causing a more complex design.
In order to get it working I will need to modify the scheduler, where
libevent is wrapped and used, adding the support for processes timeout.

Thanks,
Giuseppe
