I don't know if this
is the correct group for this, as I rarely post anything, if not, I'm sure
someone will be kind enough to mention it.
Issue
1
I have a situation
where two processes have to be created from the same script. I'm using
Win32::Process::Create to do this. The first app, (The Helper) app
launches fine. $Process->GetProcessID reports the proper PID.
What I find is on the creation of the second app (The User App) the whole thing
breaks down.
$Process->GetProcessID reports some off the wall PID and
$Process->Wait(INFINITE) failes. In fact, the PID is reports is a PID
from 4 or 5 tests earlier. If I split this script up and run each
seperately, everything works fine, so it's something to do with
Win32::Process::Create having issues with itself. Is there a memory buffer
issue here or what?
Issue
2
Same Extension, I've
noticed once the $Process is created, it's static, so even if the process is
dead and the script is still running, $Process->GetProcessID reports the PID
as if the process is still running. Becaus of this, I've had to go to WMI
for Dynamic Enumeration.
If Issue 1 can't be
resolved, I will have to move to WMI too. Not much of a reason to stay
with PERL.
If it matters, I'm
using Perl Build 630 on a Win2k Server w/ SP2 platform.
Thanks in
advance.
Mike.
