Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 39390
soffice doesn't terminate child prozesses
Last modified: 2008-11-05 20:31:35 UTC
before the src680m65 it worked; currently I see 2 different prozesses on Unix: soffice and a list of soffice.bin's on win32: soffice.BIN and soffice.exe the first prozess is: soffice / soffice.exe, that was started by the user or testtool application So if I terminate these prozess (soffice or soffice.exe), I expect that the prozesses, that were started by these programms get terminated, too. BUG: But it doesn't. Formaly it worked this way; But you may also come up with a workaround for the following situation: start soffice -> I get the prozessid, that formaly invoked with 'kill' terminates all soffice prozesses; Where do I nowadays get a working prozessID, that terminates all soffice prozesses? (In testtool exists the command 'killapp', at least that has to work this way.)
.
Currently you have to kill the soffice.bin process (both Windows and Unix). For Unix you need to call the 'ps' command to obtain the PID of the soffice.bin process. The PID that is printed to the terminal is the PID of the shell wrapper process 'soffice'.
As this is mainly a problem of the testtool, this will be handled by osl_terminateProcess.
we cannot do it on 2.0 anymore
Retargeted to Office Later, due to lack of resources we have to concentrate on the most relevant issues for the next micro update.
