A communications arrangement is described for facilitating transfer of messages among a plurality of processes in a computer system. The communications arrangement comprises a channel data structure, a status daemon and an exit handler. The channel data structure includes a channel status flag normally having one of a plurality of conditions, and a plurality of storage locations each configured to receive message information. The status daemon is configured to determine the operational status of the processes. The exit handler is configured to, in response to the status daemon determining a predetermined condition in connection with at least one of the processes, condition the channel status flag to another of the conditions, thereby to indicate to the other processes a failure condition in connection with the communications arrangement.
