How can I know task is completed or in progress once it is entered into batch mode.

Venu Ch

Hi All,

I am running below code in batch mode. It will run DRC in batchmode. It will take 10 mins. I just want to print "completed" in CIW once it is done.

 How can I know task is completed or in progress once it is entered into batch mode. ipcGetExitStatus(cid) is there but is giving current status only.

TMPVAR = buildString(list("perl" " " "strOut.pl" " " cv~>cellName " "
 cv~>libName " " cv~>viewName " " ) "")
printf(
"****************************************************************** \n
**************************RUNNING ViaRedunDency ***************************** \n
*******************************************************************"
)
cid=ipcBeginProcess(TMPVAR "" nil nil nil "ls.log")
ipcActivateBatch(cid)
ipcActivateMessages(cid)

Thank you,

Chandaka.

    Chandaka,

    Use an exit handler function. For example:

    procedure(MyExitHandler(cid status)
      printf("CHILD %d exited with status %d\n" cid status)
    )

    procedure(MyStartLS()
      let((cid)
          cid = ipcBeginProcess("ls -lR /" "" nil nil 'MyExitHandler
                                           "/tmp/ls.log")
          ipcActivateBatch(cid)
          ipcActivateMessages(cid)
          cid
       )
    )

    If I then do:

    trial=MyStartLS()

    and then after a while I do:

    ipcKillProcess(trial)

    I'll then get:

    CHILD ipc:12 exited with status 0

    You'd get the same thing when the child process finishes normally.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
