Subject: Re: Mutex

Thx for your Help !!

well , actually , I tried first of all to start a 'p' Process and to 
make it wait , ( for the mutex signal ), then later on my code , I will 
lunch a function that will increment the Value on the Semaphore , that 
my 'p' could enter the Mutex section and do its work !!

So , I think the Error I did , is That I initialize the process without 
tellin' him to wait ( without the acquire function ) , and when I tried 
to call it later , it give me that error .

now wihtin the Initialize , I added the call to acquire , Somethg like ;

require 'Semaphore'
class MyProcess < Thread
 def intializer ()
    super(){
      ... # Init Some Variables
      @semBegin = Semaphore.new(0)
      @semEnd = Semaphore.new(0)
      @semBegin.acquire()  # here since the value is 0 , he will wait 
...
      ... # Code to be exectured after recieving the Mutex Signal

     }
end
...
end
#SomeWhere I will increment the Semaphore Value to wake up my process 
and push it to work !!

in this way , I could keep my process Alive during the Application 
(waitin')... otherwise the process will ends when nothing is left to do 
!!
