Error Trapping for Linux Process

[Chipp Walters]

Glen,

I'm not sure I understand the problem. Can you be more specified?

I would expect if the handler could not get 5 lines, it would know this 
and would count the lines and assume the process has quit if less than 
5, no? Then it would cancel any pending messages (requests).
