Need help with trap
My problem is this:
I need to have a catch-all for my processes. An example would be, using a trap, in the parent, to catch any non-0 exit or invalid command (a way to catch core dumps would be cool, too) in not only the parent, but it's children and they're children. Not only that, but I also have to be able to have the same functionalith on anything that the parent or children dot in (functions containted in seperate files). Currently I can only get the trap to operate correctly on one level - parent/child. Also, it doesn't seem like I can create some sort of trap function in a seperate trapfuncs file and have it work. I dot it in and it never sees anything go wrong.
I'd really appreciate any help I could get on this. I'm stuck and can't figure this out for the life of me. I know one of gurus out there must have the answer. P.S. I'm open to any alternatives that don't mean putting blocks of code in every sinlge script and file.
Thanks!

Hi
Our problem is knowing:
What is the "best" way of simulating a TRAP for ERR within a function, since we know this will not work directly with ksh93 and aix5. How can we save the error encountered in the function and then deal with it in the calling script?
Thanks! (3 Replies)

xtmanagechild
XtManageChildren(3Xt) MIT X11R4 XtManageChildren(3Xt)
Name
XtManageChildren, XtManageChild, XtUnmanageChildren, XtUnmanageChild - manage and unmanage children
Syntax
typedef Widget *WidgetList;
void XtManageChildren(children, num_children)
WidgetList children;
Cardinal num_children;
void XtManageChild(child)
Widget child;
void XtUnmanageChildren(children, num_children)
WidgetList children;
Cardinal num_children;
void XtUnmanageChild(child)
Widget child;
Arguments
child Specifies the child.
children Specifies a list of child widgets.
num_children
Specifies the number of children.
Description
The function performs the following:
o Issues an error if the children do not all have the same parent or if the parent is not a subclass of
o Returns immediately if the common parent is being destroyed; otherwise, for each unique child on the list, ignores the child if it
already is managed or is being destroyed and marks it if not.
o If the parent is realized and after all children have been marked, it makes some of the newly managed children viewable:
- Calls the change_managed routine of the widgets' parent.
- Calls on each previously unmanaged child that is unrealized.
- Maps each previously unmanaged child that has map_when_managed
Managing children is independent of the ordering of children and independent of creating and deleting children. The layout routine of the
parent should consider children whose managed field is and should ignore all other children. Note that some composite widgets, especially
fixed boxes, call from their insert_child procedure.
If the parent widget is realized, its change_managed procedure is called to notify it that its set of managed children has changed. The
parent can reposition and resize any of its children. It moves each child as needed by calling which first updates the x and y fields and
then calls if the widget is realized.
The function constructs a of length one and calls

does not destroy the children widgets. Removing widgets from a parent's managed set is often a temporary banishment, and, some time later,
you may manage the children again.
