  • maintaining an event list comprising;

    client identifications corresponding to the client processes; and

    event identifications corresponding to client processes that have active references to the server process;

    establishing a communication interface for communicating between the client process and the server process;

    initiating by the client process through a special purpose interface provided by the server process a client process registration procedure, the registration procedure comprising;

    adding a client process identification corresponding to the client process to the event list;

    adding, to the event list, a new client event identification corresponding to an initiation of the client process in the server;

    entering a new wait state by the server process associated with the client process;

    receiving a notification that the client process has terminated, and in response to receiving the notification that the client process has terminated;

    emerging from the wait state by the server process; and

    removing the client process identification corresponding to the client process from the event list; and
