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

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.

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

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

[THIN] Citrix MPS 4 and Cygwin

Dear all,

I've been experiencing a problem running an sshd on Citrix servers (PS
4 on Win2003 SP2) for quite a while now.

Usually, cygrunsrv.exe is run as a service, which spawns a child
process (sshd.exe).

On the Citrix PS 4 servers, it seems that cygrunsrv.exe cannot spawn
sshd.exe using fork().
The error is UNIX error #11 - which is "no more processes" - which
would suggest either PID exhaustion or virtual address space
depletion. Yet neither of these conditions is evident on these
servers. The commit charge is negligible, and it is perfectly
possible to launch new processes.

Occasionally, I can manually start the sshd service, but it terminates
around 5-10 minutes later, with no dump being created.

I have verified that the executables and libraries (eg cygwin1.dll and
sshd.exe) haven't had any memory optimization done on them, and in the
cases where they have done, I've rebased the cygwin DLLs and disabled
this feature - yet still I cannot run my ssh daemon. The fork() call
is supposed to create an exact copy of the address space of the parent
process and give it to the child process, then return the PID to the
parent. Does PS do anything which might prevent this?

I've not had much luck with procexp, filemon or regmon, and haven't
found anything interesting when manually killing cygrunsrv with
drwtsn32 to create a dump of the process memory. I've asked on a
cygwin mailing list, and not had much luck with that.

Can anyone here think of anything on Citrix Presentation Server (or
XenApp if you prefer) which might prevent cygwin's fork() from
spawning the process, or failing to duplicate the address space of the
parent process?

Thanks in advance,

Hello

Has anyone been able to deploy any of the  Quicken Home & Business 2007/  8 or 9 in either a Pres 4.0 or 4.5 server farm using any method successfully ?

This app has a nice little problem of only being able to run once per box, i have never been able to successfully isolate the app.

Subject: [THIN] Anyone know if their is a GPO or registry key for "Turn off all unecessary animations"

 

Trying to track down the registry setting in Vista and Server 2008 that is under Ease of Access Center / Make it easier to focus on tasks / scroll to bottom and under Adjust Time Limits and flashing Visuals section we want the box to be checked to "Turn off all unnecessary animations (when possible)"  This should be available as a GPO as it is definitely necessary to turn off on the server for Terminal Services connections.

Definately will back up the config.

 

As I understand, I will need to redo all customization I had on the 4.5.7 when I upgrade to 4.5.8, due to the look changes.

 

I had noted in a doc. that 4.5.8 support PS 4.5 and ZA5 only.

 

Thanks for the info.

Be sure to backup the config before the upgrade, you can always revert back if there IS a problem. In fact, you *might* even want to do fresh install and restore the config to that, I haven’t tested that with 4.5.8 but should be fine.

Can I upgrade from 4.5.7 to 4.5.8, still using PS 4.0 servers?  We are planning for a 4.0 to 4.5 upgrade, but do not want that project to hold up needed fixes for CAG 4.5.7.

 

I need some of the fixes in 4.5.8 (wish it did not include all the new look and feel).  I am also still running WI 4.5 (look and feel is fine) and want to be sure this will work fine.

 

Thoughts?

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

Are you sure it’s just the 1 .exe that’s left behind?  Is it possible there is another?  What does task manager/Citrix AMC/ProcMon show for the running session after you close the main app.

 

I had an app (Cougar Mountain) that did the same thing.  The keys should work unless there is something else wrong.

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

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

Connected to this, anyone know how to turn off the ‘Public’ folder on a W2k8 server? Lord only knows what it’s doing there in the first place; makes sense for Vista, but I can’t see any justification for it on a server, never mind a terminal server.

Workflow Studio is available for download on MyCitrix to all partners and to customers of XenApp, XenDesktop, XenServer, and NetScaler on all editions except Express edition who are current on Subscription Advantage as of Jan 1, 2009. This represents a change from the announcement we made at Summit that it would only be available to Enterprise and Platinum editions.

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

Yep, uphclean is installed, and the session clears off just fine once the exe's are killed or closed out of.

These apps stay open after the core app is closed even when they are run from a desktop session. (just for grins I've tried using launchit from a batch file to call up the app as well from the desktop with the same results).

thanks,

Lan
