Re^2: Tracking child processes

This is similar to what I want. I think MS Windows has a similar concept to unix's group leader. Was your system written in perl?

Yes, it was a work system written in Perl. I don't have the code available to me right now though because I'm at home. Early versions of Windows did not have a similar concept to Unix's process groups ... and so applications such as Visual Studio rolled their own complex custom schemes to achieve a similar effect. This was remedied with the introduction of Jobs in Windows 2000. The Win32::Job module (comes with ActivePerl, needs Windows 2000 and above) should be a suitable replacement for Unix process groups.
