Annoying but yes, it looks like having a global registry of processes has to be created so they can be killed on main termination. :-( Though I am going to tinker with Basile B's suggestion of using a managing object with a destructor to see if that can avoid the global registry. > > Is there a way of all spawned processes being terminated on > > main termination? > > You probably need to register all child processes.

Detached is not a good idea, the spawned processes should not outlive the spawning process. -- Russel. =========================================== Dr Russel Winder t: +44 20 7585 2200 41 Buckmaster Road m: +44 7770 465 077 London SW11 1EN, UK w: www.russel.org.uk
