[THIN] Re: have a process still running after seamless app closes

Joe,

Thanks for the response on this, unfortunately neither these registry adjustments on the server (+reboot), nor publishing the app with launchit seems able to kill the additional exes which launch with the app when the core app is closed.

I have simplified the publishing to just the base application exe which launches 2 additional exe's when starting. After the core app is closed, these two exe's continue to run in the session.

If anyone has other suggestions for directions on this I'd appreciate it, as is it's looking like we may just have to bite the bullet and attempt to train the user's to close out the systray EXE during log offs . . ./sigh

Thanks,

Lan

Hello,

 

There is a Microsoft version of this key as well that has to be set…  Here is an example of both:

 

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

 

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Citrix\wfshell\TWI]

"LogoffCheckSysModules"="ReconnAct!.exe"

 

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server\SysProcs]

"ReconnAct!.exe"=dword:00000000

Subject: [THIN] have a process still running after seamless app closes

 

Afternoon listies,

We have an app run in seamless mode, which is used as a starter point to ensure that a number of other applications can be started within the same memory space (same server).

One of the newer applications being launched by this starter point, has a secondary EXE process spawned that drops directly down to the system tray.

All is well and good, until the main starter application is closed. The spawned EXE's for the system tray app won't close without an end user selecting to exit them specifically.

Have attempted the reg mods defined in - http://support.citrix.com/article/ctx891671, but that hasn't done it for us so far.

I was recall some kind of third party app, "launchit" "launchthis"...or something similar which can watch spawned processes and close them out after the initially launched app closes.

Not finding it in my searches, curious if anyone else is aware of a utility which will help us close out this little bugger of an exe.

thanks,

Lan
