#3745: Preferences : "[x] Warn upon closing active programs" ------------------------------------+--------------------------------------- Reporter: mmadia | Owner: jackburton Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: R1 Component: Applications/Terminal | Version: R1/pre-alpha1 Resolution: | Keywords: Blocked By: | Has a Patch: 0 Platform: All | Blocking: ------------------------------------+--------------------------------------- Comment (by bonefish): Replying to [comment:2 jackburton]: > In theory "waitpid(-1, &status, WNOHANG)" should tell if a child process has exited or not, and thus be used to tell if a program is still running. In practice, I've experimented with it a bit, but there seems to be no difference in the returned values. > Maybe since "bash" is already a child process, waitpid() will always return that there are still child processes runing. Maybe I misunderstand what you're saying. waitpid() does not tell you whether there are still living children. It does only tell you about terminated children. I don't see what this has to do with this ticket, though. Isn't this just about checking whether number of tabs > 1 before quitting? -- Ticket URL: <http://dev.haiku-os.org/ticket/3745#comment:3> Haiku <http://dev.haiku-os.org> Haiku - the operating system.
