How to detect when a Poco sub Process crashes?

[pbaumer]

I am using Poco to create a process in my app. I would like to relaunch the process if the process exits gracefully or it crashes.

Currently it is started as follows:

Code: Select all

ProcessHandle ph = Process::launch( "foo.exe", args, 0, &outPipe, 0);
PipeInputStream istr(outPipe);
std::string s;
int c = istr.get();
while (c != -1)
{
    s += (char) c; c = istr.get();
}

Graceful exit is handled easily by waiting for the output pile to end as shown above.

How can I handle when the process crashes? I need to handle this on Windows and Linux.

I am also using Poco for process management. I create a thread which launches the process. This child thread communicates with the parent thread using a lightweight message queue. The messages include information that indicates the status of the child, including the exit code from the launched process (obtained via the wait method). If you are interested you can see the code at http://laum.sourceforge.net.
