Gil,

To my knowledge, there is no such event. The primary thread on which the
process is running is terminated by the operating system -- therefore, there
is no process left for any of the events you listed to fire on.

Now, the "End Process" button on the task manager is different from the "End
Task" button or what happens when you click "Shut Down". End Task and Shut
Down send a more friendly shut down message to the application, and you will
find that the standard events work just fine.

What is your purpose in interrupting the process kill? Depending on the
environment, you may be able to detect when the process has been terminated
by watching it with another process.

A windows application is terminated by receiving any of the WM_CLOSE,
WM_DESTROY or WM_QUIT messages from the operating system. If none of
these messages are received then your application has nothing to trap
and know that it gets killed. If think TaskManager simply uses
TerminateProces s without any other messages, meaning that you cannot
trap this event.

Are you needing an application that is always alive? Maybe something
along the lines of a system service is more what you need??

I seem to be having a devil of a time killing a process.... If I launch an applicaton such as notepad.exe as a Process, I can kill it with no problem. However, if I launch a particulare application (it's a shell application that does some lengthy math processing) as a Process and attempt to kill it, the Process returns properly with an Exited event, but the shell window continues to be open and processing. My guess is that this math app...

I have a process that takes a while to run so I have it running asynchronously so that the user can continue working. My question is that I want to killl the process if the user changes the search parameters before the callback method is called. Any ideas of how to do this or if it even matters? I did not know if calling the asynch process a new time kills the previous one or not. Thank you for your help. Susan

Hi Fellows, I have a problem with process termination. I have a python code that apache runs through a django interface. The code is very simple, first, it creates a process with the subprocess.Popen call, and afterwards, (using a web request) the python code uses the PID of the previously created process(stored in a db) and kills it with an os.kill call using the SIGKILL signal. The creation of the process is ok, apache calls the...

I've a Windows Service that keeps a particular executable running. If the executable fails for whatever reason, the Service restarts it. Right now I'm using a loop to check if the process is running. I started with an infinite loop that ate up all of my resources, but then added a 2 second pause after every check, which seems to have mostly eliminated the problem of my resources being used up. However, I'm wondering if there is a...

How can a VB program detect a kill process which was used to close it down. I have a routine that detects when a user exits the program and I can track the session times. But how can I detect when a kill process was done on the process either by the task manager or by Citrix for example? Bill

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
