Description
Suggestion 1:
- home sends a ping every n seconds
- if worker has not received the ping after 5*n seconds, it commits suicide.
However... under heavy load this may be more damaging than helpful.
Suggestion 2:
- the home process conveys its PID to the worker at start
- the worker checks for a process with PID once in a while. If not found, it commits suicide
However, checking for a process in an OS-independent way is not very reliable either.
