Re^3: Kill a process in perl windows and proceed only if it killed the process

what is 'cP' argument means?

You are calling Win32::Process::Wait() as a subroutine; you should be calling it as a method.

sorry, I didn't understand. I get the processids of the applications running on a processing node and I just want to kill it and wait for that process to be killed. I am not creating the process using Win32::Process::Create().	[reply]

I am not creating the process using Win32::Process::Create(). Then you will need to obtain a handle to the process using: `my $proc = Win32::Process::Open( $pid, $iflags ); Creates a handle Perl can use to an existing process as identified by +$pid.` [download] And then call the Wait method on that handle: `$proc->Wait( <milliseconds\|INFINITE> );` [download] With the rise and rise of 'Social' network sites: 'Computers are making people easier to use everyday' Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.
