mysql_waitpid signals a process to terminate
        and waits for the process to exit. It uses the
        kill() system call and Unix signals, so it
        runs on Unix and Unix-like systems.
      
Invoke mysql_waitpid like this:
shell> mysql_waitpid [options] pid wait_time
        mysql_waitpid sends signal 0 to the process
        identified by pid and waits up to
        wait_time seconds for the process to
        terminate. pid and
        wait_time must be positive integers.
      
If process termination occurs within the wait time or the process does not exist, mysql_waitpid returns 0. Otherwise, it returns 1.
        If the kill() system call cannot handle
        signal 0, mysql_waitpid() uses signal 1
        instead.
      
mysql_waitpid supports the following options:
