Just curious - what is this code for? The variable names suggests that y
you're looking for the parent of some process, is that correct? If so,
appl_search is probably not the way to go.

I can't see anything wrong with this code, although I think it would be
neater to do it like this:

more = appl_search(APP_FIRST....
while (more)
{
	print("Put debug stuff here\n");
	more = appl_search(APP_NEXT...
}

This way you avoid the extra printf and the if.

Also, is Teradesk really started by the SHELL command in xaaes.cnf?
Could it be started with a "run" command?

Take a look in the XaAES Task Manager. Is the Teradesk line displayed in
brown/maroon? The shell is brown/maroon, accs are blue and applications
are red.
