+But really gproc does all that for you and is already well tested.

+</I>&gt;<i> I am new to cowboy, I have a process that runs alongside a

+</I>&gt;<i> and this process needs to periodically send text to all http clients

+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> Same answer really. You need some kind of process registry, like
+</I>&gt;<i> gproc properties for example, that will store all Pids and allow you

+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> On init, register the process, and then handle the incoming message
+</I>&gt;<i> when it arrives.
