Monitoring a process

General JUCE discussion

Hi.

Is there a way to be notified when a child process dies?

I’m communicating with the child process using InterprocessConnection (pipes) and I do get the connectionLost() callback, but only in Windows,
In OSX the callback does not get called. (there’s a GetLastError() check in WIN in read() that leads to disconnectPipe())

Maybe I should try with sockets? or maybe there’s a better way?

Thank you

Maybe one way to solve this will be to inherit InterprocessConnection into ActiveInterprocssConnection what will
use the Timer to send ‘ack’ messages and trigger connectionLost() if sending failed.
