Hi there, I have a call to a third-party C++ library which I have put into its own thread (currently using NSThread). I would like to give the user the ability to stop the execution of that thread. (I am well aware of all the problems this might cause, but I still wish to do so.) According to Apple's Thread Programming Guide, there ar...
I need to do the following in Python. I want to spawn a process (subprocess module?), and: if the process ends normally, to continue exactly from the moment it terminates; if, otherwise, the process "gets stuck" and doesn't terminate within (say) one hour, to kill it and continue (possibly giving it another try, in a loop). What is t...

I want to write a program, that should be notified by O.S. whenever any running process on that OS dies. I don't want to myself poll and compare everytime if a previously existing process has died. I want my program to be alerted by OS whenever a process termination happens. How do I go about it? Some sample code would be very helpful...
One of my colleague told me this morning, when he killed supervisord by "kill -9", the subprocesses of supervisord is not killed. He is quite sure about that, but I tried many times and did not find that happen. So when a parent process is killed by "kill -9", will linux ensure that it's sub-processes also been killed? ...
Hi, happens to me occasionally: I start my program in visual studio and due to some bug my program goes into 100% cpu usage and basically freezes windows completely. Only by utter patience requesting the task manager (takes forever to come up and paint itself) I can kill my process. Do others encounter this too sometimes? Is there a ...

I have a launchd job that I've configured to run my unit tests. Every now and then, the unit tests will hang (usually because of some bad code). I know that my test usually only take a couple minutes to run. When they do hang, I usually don't notice it for about an hour, at which point I have to pop open Activity Monitor and forcibly ...
I wonder if it is possible to shut down the communication pipe when killing a subprocess started in a different thread. If I do not call communicate() then kill() will work as expected, terminating the process after one second instead of five. I found a discussion of a similar problem here, but I got no real answers. I assume that I eit...

Here's my code, with error handling and other stuff removed for clarity: sub launch_and_monitor { my ($script, $timeout) = @_; sub REAPER { while ((my $child = waitpid(-1, &WNOHANG)) > 0) {} $SIG{CHLD} = \&REAPER; } $SIG{CHLD} = \&REAPER; my $pid = fork; if (defined $pid) { if ($pid =...

I need to write a "kill switch" into my C# application for licensing/billing purposes. What is the best way to do that? The requirements are as follows (its actually 2 kill switches): 1 - "passive kill switch" - If a particular user does not log into the application in X days then the application stops working. 2 - "active kill switch...

Hi, In my Python script, I first launch a subprocess by subprocess.Popen(). Then later on, I want to kill that subprocess by kill -9 Pid. What I found is that after the kill is executed, the subprocess is "stopped" because the GUI window of that process disappeared immediately. But when I perform a "ps aux" right after the kill, the sa...
Question: When a process is killed, is this information recorded anywhere (i.e., in kernel), such as syslog (or can be configured to be recorded syslog.conf) Is the information of the killer's PID, time and date when killed and reason update - you have all giving me some insight, thank you very much| ...
does matlab have the capability to catch signals from linux? for example, the signal SIGIO (29) can be sent to a process with a lease on a file when another process attempts to open that file. from my testing, when I try kill -s 29 pid, where pid is the process ID of a running matlab window, the matlab process is killed. similarly,kill -...
Here's one for ya. Upon a forced quit of the Finder with unsuccessful relaunch, "killall Finder" in terminal returns: "No matching processes belonging to you were found" Oddly enough, the PID for finder does actually show up after a "ps -A" to reveal all processes. But the time is perpetually listed as 0:00:00, upon repeated PID listi...
