Thanks for your answers.
Is there a similar issue with mx BTL? I mean, using the mx BTL, is it possible to reach a parent job from a spawned process?
Thanks again! :-)

We've talked about supporting this for a long time, but to be blunt, there hasn't been enough demand for it to justify spending the time to figure out all the issues and implement it properly. :-(
Patches would be welcome, though! :-)
