Can't release memory

[Revolter]

I have this command:

$ping = Run( @ComSpec & " /c ping www.google.com -t" , @SystemDir , @SW_HIDE , $STDOUT_CHILD )

and this exit function:

OnAutoItExitRegister( "_Esc" )
Func _Esc()
ProcessClose( $ping )
ProcessClose( "PING.exe" )
ProcessClose( "conhost.exe" )
Exit
EndFunc

but if i run the script and then run this command:

C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe /q /c ping www.google.com -t

it opens another 2 "PING.exe" and "conhost.exe" processes and then the script doesn't know which of them to close

How can I release memory so that when I exit the script it also closes the processes that it opened?

The Run command returns a PID (Process Identifier), ProcessClose takes either a program name or a PID, I'd use the PID from Run to close the one that I opened.

Don't you see I did closed the process opened by run command ("cmd.exe") but it also opens 2 more processes!

Run the Ping program directly, there's no reason to use @Comspec before it. Then when the program closes it will be able to close the Ping program without worrying about trying to close cmd.exe first.

OnAutoItExitRegister("_Esc")
$Ping = Run("ping www.google.com -t", @SystemDir, @SW_HIDE, 8)
Sleep(3000) ; sleeps for 3 seconds, then the program closes
Func _Esc()
    ProcessClose($Ping)
    Exit
EndFunc   ;==>_Esc

Try runing with STDINCHILD (0x1 + 0x2) and then

StdinWrite($pid, "^c")
