I need to go look at the implementation of System.Process, though; the documentation strongly implies that (a) it already creates a process group,
System.Process-1.1.0.0 introduces the new field "create_group :: Bool" in the datatype CreateProcess, which ensures that the process (and its children) is spawned in an new process group.
but the documentation for interruptProcessGroupOf is correct. Maybe that function will work for you?
This function is also in System.Process-1.1.0.0 and does indeed, what i want to do!
In any case, I would not mix System.Process and System.Posix.Process. I'd probably use the latter, but that's because it's closer to what I'm used to as a Unix/SVID/POSIX programmer.
I thought so, but the means justified the ends (for me , in this case). But now i don't need System.Posix.Process at all, since all i need is provided by the new System.Process-1.1.0.0. Thank you for pointing out the function "interruptProcessGroupOf" which lead me to this new version of System.Process. Kind regards, André
