Hi,

These question has probably already been posted, but since the search does not work at this time, I cannot check this out.

I am trying the [red]Win32:rocess;[/red] module.

I have created a process using

[red]Win32:rocess::Create($ProcessObj,
"C:\\WINNT\\NOTEPAD.EXE",
"",
0,
NORMAL_PRIORITY_CLASS,
".&quot|| die ErrorReport();

[/red]

I can get the process Id using:

[red]$ID = $ProcessObj->GetProcessID();[/red]

If I let the code sleep 15 seconds and during these 15 seconds I close notepad.exe, how can I check if these process is still running in the perl script?

Hi Thierry,

Instead of calling sleep() try

$ProcessObj->Wait($timeout)

From the Perl dox
Wait for the process to die. $timeout should be specified in milliseconds. To wait forever, specify the constant INFINITE Mike
