B4J Question JShell and Process ID

[Swissmade]

Hi all

In my app I start some Daemons max 10 they are controlled with CLI Commands.
Daemons can be on WIndows and Linux(PI)

Now I like to get the Process ID to check if one of the Daemons still running.
The daemons start Shell.Run(-1)
They all have the same name but start from a different location.

How can I get the Process ID to see if the Daemon's still running?

Sometimes I also have to kill the process and for Windows I think TaskKill PID and Linux Kill PID is the way to go.
Maybe there is a better option to do this.

Thanks for help.

I came across this recently which may help:

Get PID of current Application

This will display the current pid of the running application. Dim jo As JavaObject jo.InitializeStatic("java.lang.management.ManagementFactory") Dim pid As String = jo.RunMethodJO("getRuntimeMXBean",Null).RunMethod("getName",Null) Log("this pid : " & pid.SubString2(0,pid.IndexOf("@")))

Could you use UDP to send a 'Close' message to each?

No that is not possible

You can kill the process with Shell.KillProcess. If will do nothing if the process isn't running.

No simple way to get the running process id.
