Supervised PIDs - Close all upon OnAutoItExit call

[numdig]

Here are two samples for launching and keeping an eye on other applications.

It is handy when it comes to dealing with webservers: we can keep the little AutoIT icon in the taskbar and terminate the webserver when needed.

The important bit is:

Global $SUPERVISED_PID___GLOBAL = 0
OnAutoItExitRegister("OnAutoItExitV01")

And the function:

Func OnAutoItExitV01()
    ; was there an error?
    If @exitCode Then Return
    ; close by clicking on exit of the systray?
    If @exitMethod = 2 Then
        ; close the grand-children as well
        $list = _ProcessGetChildren($SUPERVISED_PID___GLOBAL)
        If IsArray($list) Then
            For $i = 1 To $list[0][0]
                If ProcessExists($list[$i][0]) Then
                    ProcessClose($list[$i][0])
                    ProcessWaitClose($list[$i][0])
                EndIf
            Next
        EndIf
        ; close the main process
        If ProcessExists($SUPERVISED_PID___GLOBAL) Then ProcessClose($SUPERVISED_PID___GLOBAL)
    EndIf
EndFunc   ;==>OnAutoItExitV01
