OSX Process still running

Archives Forums/BlitzMax Bug Reports/OSX Process still running

When debugging a NON-gui app, and the app is stopped either via an exception or by hitting the Stop button, the actual app instance is still running in the background - and has to be killed off (eg. kill -9 1234).

When running the same app as a GUI app, the app appears to be terminated properly.

:o)

When I'm debugging any application and it gives me any error, the debug process is left running and has to be killed manually. I'm using Ubuntu Linux and BlitzMax 1.28 (default ide).

Same on linux, but also if I compile as GUI-App. I'm building my own IDE and the Problem is there is no chance to get the PID or sth. except by the name of the process.

yup, this is killing my rather slim ubuntu machine...

I've noticed this problem too on Linux...

Is this the same problem as this old bug report? Does applying the suggested fix to Pub.FreeProcess help?


Blitzcoder(Posted 2008) [#6]
bmk just uses System_ to run the process. FreeProcess should be used, this kills the process automatically if bmk is killig. I hope this is fixed soon, otherwise I have to build in a platform-dependent Process-Killer ;)

Think I might have a fix for this... Just posting to remind me...
