[THIN] Re: have a process still running after seamless app closes

No loop.  Qprocess runs once.  The batch file waits at the command start /wait 
"application".  Once that application is closed it will continue on in the 
batch file to kill the processes.  Trust me, we are doing this for an 
application for over 1000 users, it works.

Hmmm...am I missing something here? Of course it has to loop. The qprocess | 
find /i "process" must continually run to test to see if the first app is 
running or not. How else will it know to take action using TSKILL, or whatever 
else you use to kill the other two processes?

I'm not being rude or having a go at you, I'm just looking at this differently.

Cheers,
Jeremy.

Whatever works.  I wouldn't say it hammers resources, there is no loop in the 
batch file and it just sits in the background minimized if you wish.  Uses 
about 2 MB of memory that's all.

Hi Lan,

I think you are far better off using WMI to monitor for the closure of the 
first app, so that it will then terminate the second, etc.

A similar example can be found here:
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/scriptcenter/resources/qanda/jul05/hey0701.mspx

Obviously this script would need some rework to achieve what you are looking 
for, but you would get it to launch the main app, and then it just sits in the 
background waiting for the app to terminate, and then terminates the other 
processes. Nice and tidy. The nice thing about using this method is that it 
doesn't hammer the system resources, whereas the method offered below (sorry 
Chris) may well do that.

I have used this method before, but can't find my exact script :(

Cheers,
Jeremy.

You could run it in a batch file so your initial app runs start /wait "your 
front application"

Your next line could then be qprocess | find /i "process" to check for a 
running process.  If it doesn't find the process then run TSKILL on the process 
that runs the application in the system tray and any others you want killed.

We have had to do the same thing here with an application that runs in the 
System tray.

Chris

Joe,

Thanks for the response on this, unfortunately neither these registry 
adjustments on the server (+reboot), nor publishing the app with launchit seems 
able to kill the additional exes which launch with the app when the core app is 
closed.

I have simplified the publishing to just the base application exe which 
launches 2 additional exe's when starting. After the core app is closed, these 
two exe's continue to run in the session.

If anyone has other suggestions for directions on this I'd appreciate it, as is 
it's looking like we may just have to bite the bullet and attempt to train the 
user's to close out the systray EXE during log offs . . ./sigh

Thanks,

Lan

Hello,



There is a Microsoft version of this key as well that has to be set...  Here is 
an example of both:



Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00



[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Citrix\wfshell\TWI]

"LogoffCheckSysModules"="ReconnAct!.exe"



[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server\SysProcs]

Afternoon listies,

We have an app run in seamless mode, which is used as a starter point to ensure 
that a number of other applications can be started within the same memory space 
(same server).

One of the newer applications being launched by this starter point, has a 
secondary EXE process spawned that drops directly down to the system tray.

All is well and good, until the main starter application is closed. The spawned 
EXE's for the system tray app won't close without an end user selecting to exit 
them specifically.

Have attempted the reg mods defined in - 
http://support.citrix.com/article/ctx891671, but that hasn't done it for us so 
far.

I was recall some kind of third party app, "launchit" "launchthis"...or 
something similar which can watch spawned processes and close them out after 
the initially launched app closes.

Not finding it in my searches, curious if anyone else is aware of a utility 
which will help us close out this little bugger of an exe.

thanks,

Lan
