I've looked through the various documentation on set_isalive, and
env_failchk. What I can't seem to figure out is how to write my
is_alive function. I'm using the CDS product with a number of
processes. Are each of them supposed to implement the is_alive function

or is only the process that calls failchk supposed to? Since my
processes are unrelated, is my is_alive suppose to somehow manage my
various processes pids? My processes are kicked off via a web server as

cgi programs. They don't live long.

I've also looked at DB_REGISTER but that doesn't seem to work for CDS.

Can someone point me in the right direction on some documentation?
