rotdash for multiple instance

[Roberto A. Foglietta]

Hi all,

 this is the code for rotdash which wait for a pid, a single pid.

 https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tinycorelinux/tc-misc/master/rotdash.c

 However, some software have many instances (multi-threading) using rotdash with pgrep does not work.
 
 The code has been modified to wait for multiple pids. In attachment.

 You will find compiled stripped/sstriped binaries here

IMHO: Does it need to be dynamically linked, not statically? and maybe linked against uclib or musl?
I understand today schema of fast and dirty approach of development, build one for test, get feed-back, improve it, throw away the first one etc.

At least you created something potentially useful for somebody, so .. congratulations.

Possibly, they will grown in number.

the idea to have rotdash statically linked is because a 32 bits version is portable to a 64 bits version (call directly to kernel only), and even portable to older TC versions (with older libc).

PS: I copy/paste an Archlinux ELF 64 bits (xarchiver, I think) in TC12_x86_64 and I hit some undefined symbols etc. So yes, underlining lib versions could be an obstacle sometimes.
