ipcActivateBatch

ipcActivateBatch( 
o_childId 
) 
=> t / nil

Description

Switches a child process to batch mode.

This means that output from the child is written only to the log file given when the child was created.

The child process must have started its life through either ipcBeginProcess or ipcSkillProcess and a log file must have been given. An error could result if these conditions are not met.

Arguments

o_childId

Child process handle.

Value Returned

t	The specified child process was switched to batch mode.
nil	The child process has already expired.
