// Dining philosophers (swansons) using System V Semaphores
// Original: http://www.lisha.ufsc.br/~guto/teaching/os/exercise/phil.html
// Modified by Chris Kauffman
//
// Short random delays are added between each philosophers
// thinking/eating cycle to generate some variance in execution order
//
// To see the multiple processes, run the following commands
// > gcc -o philosophers philosophers.c
// > philosophers > xxx & watch -d -n 0.1 'ps ux | grep philosophers'
// Ctrl-c to stop the "watch" command (may screw up the terminal display)
