%% Timeout for the startup function.
%% If no  {initialization_complete, Pid} message has been received
%% from the spawned init-function within ?STARTUP_TIMEOUT ms
%% the start-function will call exit(Reason).
-define(STARTUP_TIMEOUT, 20000).

%% start/0

start() ->

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
%% start_notimeout/1

start_notimeout(LIModuleExcluded) ->

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
%% start/2 - Spawns the main Pman process, that will supervise
%%    all processes except those running code from the modules
%%    specified in LIModuleExcluded
%%

start(LIModuleExcluded, Timeout) ->

    OSModuleExcluded = ordsets:from_list(LIModuleExcluded),

    PidInit = spawn(pman_main, init, [self(), OSModuleExcluded]),

    %% Wait for a initialization completion message from
    %% the spawned process before returning its Pid.
    %% 

    receive
	{initialization_complete, PidInit} ->
	    PidInit

    %% (Conditional) Failure to start within the time limit will
    %% result in termination

    after
	Timeout ->
	    exit(PidInit, kill),
	    exit({startup_timeout, ?MODULE})
    end.



%% ---------------------------------------------------------------
%% If we want to trace just one process, we can call proc, giving it
%% either the Pid, or the registered name, (Global or local).
%%
%% (???)
%% Note that this function must not be used internally to create a
%% trace window, since it is assumed that it is started from any
%% process (esp. the shell) it will not have any supervisor process
%% that shall be notified about it's exit/death.
%%
%% Returns: Trace loop Pid|udefined
