terminate

within a vb script, I want to assign a variable with the process id of the cmd.exe in which the vb script is running. Is there any command? Below is the example VB script procedure returning parent process caption and id: GetParentProcessInfo sCaption, sProcessId MsgBox "Parent Process Caption '" & sCaption & "'" & vbCrLf & "Parent Process Id '" & sProcessId & "'" Sub GetParentProcessInfo(sCaption, sProcessId) With GetObject("winmgmts:\\.\root\CIMV2:Win32_Process.Handle='" & CreateObject("WScript.Shell").Exec("rundll32 kernel32,Sleep").ProcessId & "'") With GetObject("winmgmts:\\.\root\CIMV2

What is the best way to terminate a family of processes in Linux, if we assume that: arbitrary process in the family can get killed / terminates before we can start cleanup; as a result, if the child processes don't terminate, their PPID will be 1 processes can change process groups The particular scenario I'm looking at is Bash, but the more general technique, the better. Dan Cornilescu You may want to perform the killing (eventually via a script) in a different login shell to ensure you're not accidentally stopping/killing the very shell/script attempting to do the overall killing before it

Could not find this answer online. When Ctrl+C is hit: When we don't have any shutdown hook, what happens to the running threads - do they each get hit with an InterruptedException? When we have shutdown hook(s), I know that the shutdown hooks get run in new threads in arbitrary order. But what happens to the existing running threads? Do they still each get hit with an InterruptedException? Thanks! The classic book "Java Concurrency in Practice" has a chapter (7.4) on the JVM shutdown, you should read that, but here are some relevant quotes: If any application threads (daemon or nondaemon) are

In g++ and clang++ (in Linux at least) the following typical message is shown after an exception is thrown and not catch (uncaught exception): terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::runtime_error' what(): Bye For example in: #include<stdexcept> int main(){ throw std::runtime_error("Bye"); } How do I customize the error message while still having full access to the thrown exception? The documentation ( http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/exception/set_unexpected/ ) mentions set_unexpected (and set_terminate ) but I don't know how the unexpected_handle has actual access to the

I have a thread which grabs some data from network or serial port. The thread must terminate (or return false) if no data is received within 5 seconds. In other words, if running the thread is taking more than 5 seconds it must stop. I am writing in C#, but any .NET language is OK. There are two approaches: 1. Encapsulated timeout The thread reading the data from network or serial port can measure time elapsed from its time of start and wait for the data for no more than the remaining time. Network communication APIs usually provide means to specify a timeout for the operation. Hence by doing
