how to kill process in started with ipcbeginprocess

saurabh96

Hello Guys,


command=strcat("xterm -ls -hold -e \"./batch -version\"-parentTool virtuoso")
cmdPid = ipcBeginProcess(command)
ipcWait(cmdPid)


Here batch is runfile.
When I am executing the above "command", xterm is launching, and the batch file starts running ...Now, after runs complete, xterm is still there, and the process is still running...or I have to close xterm manually....is their way that xterm close automatically after runs(process) completes??
I appreciate any help you can provide.
Regards,
SRV

  • Hi,

    If that is a batch job then why would you want to run it in an xterm in the first place - I mean why not pass it directly to the ipcBegin.

    In your above command you may replace the "-hold" option of xterm against "+hold" so as to make sure it returns.

    Hi Max,

    Thanks for reply..

    1)am using xterm because when we run runfile it needs user input at some point in between as yes/no as conformation ...using xterm allows to run process on xterm and user can give input while process is running.

    2)  -hold is also running fine..lemme try +hold ;..just i want that as when process completes the xterm should close or process get killed without manually closing xterm

    Just run the man page for xterm...

     -hold   Turn on the hold resource, i.e., xterm will not immediately destroy its window when the shell command com-
                   pletes.   It will wait until you use the window manager to destroy/kill the window, or if you use the menu
                   entries that send a signal, e.g., HUP or KILL.

     +hold   Turn off the hold resource, i.e., xterm will immediately destroy its window when the  shell  command  com-
                   pletes.
