The point is, "he wants the user to be logged out when the process
stops", not "he wants the process to stop when the user logs out".

there is a reg key provided by Citrix to auto terminate processes that
stay running and stick sessions.

cleaned up after the logout process starts. I need something one step
before that.

        I seem to recall reading a while back about a freeware utility
that when it was used to launch applications it would watch for any
processes that were opened, and close out extraneous processes when the
main app was closed. . forgetting the name though, something like
"launchme" or "launchthis".

        Can't seem to find it now, anyone else remember this utility . .
or am I just loosing it..?

        Could something like this work:

        do
        While ThereAreWindows()
        wscript.sleep 1
        wend
        loop
        logoutuser()


        something like that.
        the sleep allows the script to be put on hold and not consume
resources.

        We sorta tried this tactic with another problem before and the
overhead
        on the "monitoring" of the exe is quite large since you are
launching a
        "monitor" per user. 30 or 40 "monitors" brings a terminal server
to its
        knees quickly.

        On startup, launch a .vbs/shell script - script launches IE and
monitors
        for
        the .exe running. When the .exe is terminated (i.e. it was
running, but
        isn't running anymore), vbs script runs logoff.exe which logs
the user
        off.

        I have an application that likes Citrix as long as it is running
in a
        full desktop. If I publish it as a seamless app then it gets
buggy (lock
        ups, strange GUI errors, etc...) and is not "supported" by the
vendor.

        I want to publish a full desktop, automatically launch the app,
and then
        gracefully logout of the desktop when the app is closed without
the end
        user having to manually logout. I have everything worked out
except the
        last step. To add a twist, the app is launched with Internet
Explorer
        and then opens the rich client portion of the .exe. So, not only
do I
        need a way to monitor when the app is closed, I have to close
out the IE
        instance that is left open by the application launch.

        The app is GE's Centricity 2006 (CPS06).
        I am running Citrix 4.5 on all 2003 servers with a web front end
only.
        (This is offered as an ASP to remote users.)

        Any thoughts?
