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...

hello, I want to start a number of subprocesses in my Python script and then track when they complete or crash. subprocess.Popen.poll() seems to return None when the process is still running, 0 on success, and non-zero on failure. Can that be expected on all OS's? Unfortunately the standard library documentation is lacking for these me...

Based on the different views documented in SAD which RUP roles should should be responsible for creating the SAD? I thought from the beginning that the SAD was only for a technical audience but from what i can see in RUP it is more than that so it seems like it is not only the Software Architect that should be involved. ...

We have to run a process from a windows service and get a screenshot from it. We tried the BitBlt and PrintWindow Win32 calls, but both give blank (black) bitmaps. If we run our code from a normal user process, it works just fine. Is this something that is even possible? Or could there be another method to try? Things we tried: Wi...
