Hi guys,
I want execute a process. I know, I can execute a process using
"spawnProcess" or "executeShell". But I want exit the parent.
My code for testing purposes is the following:
int main(string[] asArgs_p)
{
if ( (asArgs_p.length >= 2) && asArgs_p[1].isDir() )
{
while(1) {}
}
else
{
import std.process;
spawnProcess([asArgs_p[0], "test"]);
}
return 0;
}
So, starting the application without any parameter, it calls
"spawnProcess" with an parameter. Now, I want that the parent
process (the process started without parameter) terminates,
while the created process remains running.
At the moment, the parent process creates the child and remains
open (because of the while(1)-loop).
Any ideas how I can exit the parent and keep the child process
running?
Running process in detached state will be available in the future
versions of Phobos. This functionality has been already merged in
master https://github.com/dlang/phobos/pull/5483
Until then you may consider to use a third-party library
