mysql_waitpid

mysql_pid is a utility for terminating processes. It runs on Unix-like systems, making use of the kill() system call.

From MariaDB 10.4.6, mariadb-waitpid is a symlink to mysql_waitpid.

Description

mysql_pid sends signal 0 to the process pid and waits up to time seconds for the process to terminate. pid and time must be positive integers.

Signal 1 is used if the kill() system call cannot handle signal 0
