Re: Monitor a child process of a parent process,...

Hi,

how do i programmatically monitor a child process
of a parent process? I assume that i have to use
some of the synchronistaion functions like
"WaitForSingleObject(...)." I want to start monitoring
right when the parent process starts the child process.
And i want to catch the processess termination.
In my case the parent is a console (cmd.exe) and the
child is some Win32 Application i wrote, that on
successfully execution finishes returns "0" and on Error
the result of GetLastError(). What do you recommend,...

The command line is the following:

cmd.exe getobjectnamespaces.exe > LastObjects.log

Parent here is of course the "cmd.exe" and the child is
the"getobjectnamespaces.exe".
I want to catch the "getobjectnamespaces.exe" termination.

I know that i could use some sort of output redirection
with Handles/Pipes, CreateProcess, ReadFile/Console/Pipe, etc,
but i wont for some special reasons. I use the redirection
operator in my case...

Open a handle to the process and wait for it to be signaled.
