Patent ID: 8782651

Claim:
A method comprising: identifying a first executing process in response to an activation event associated with a second executing process, the first executing process comprising a file descriptor, the first executing process independent of the second executing process; disassociating the file descriptor from a first data stream in response to the second executing process without involvement of the first executing process; determining whether to suspend the first executing process or leave the first executing process executing, wherein determining whether to suspend the first executing process occurs prior to disassociating the file descriptor and wherein determining whether to suspend the first executing process is based on one or more of a parameter and a setting from the second executing process; associating the file descriptor with a second data stream in response to the second executing process without involvement of the first executing process subsequent to disassociating the file descriptor from the first data stream; and triggering disassociating the file descriptor from the first data stream and associating the file descriptor with the second data stream in response to predetermined criteria.
