Whatever works. I wouldn’t say it hammers resources, there is no loop in the batch file and it just sits in the background minimized if you wish. Uses about 2 MB of memory that’s all.

Subject: [THIN] Re: have a process still running after seamless app closes
Hi Lan,
I think you are far better off using WMI to monitor for the closure of the first app, so that it will then terminate the second, etc.
A similar example can be found here:
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/scriptcenter/resources/qanda/jul05/hey0701.mspx
Obviously this script would need some rework to achieve what you are looking for, but you would get it to launch the main app, and then it just sits in the background waiting for the app to terminate, and then terminates the other processes. Nice and tidy. The nice thing about using this method is that it doesn’t hammer the system resources, whereas the method offered below (sorry Chris) may well do that.
I have used this method before, but can’t find my exact script L
Cheers,
Jeremy.

You could run it in a batch file so your initial app runs start /wait “your front application”
Your next line could then be qprocess | find /i “process” to check for a running process. If it doesn’t find the process then run TSKILL on the process that runs the application in the system tray and any others you want killed.
We have had to do the same thing here with an application that runs in the System tray.

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

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
