How to close the subroutine of the program started by qprocess?
-
Try this
kill( m_process->pid(), SIGINT );
before m_process is closed.or
QString cmd = QString( "kill -9 %1" ).arg( m_process->pid() );
call this
exec( cmd.toStdString().c_str() );std::string exec(const char* cmd) {
std::array<char, 128> buffer;
std::string result;
std::unique_ptr<FILE, decltype(&pclose)> pipe(popen(cmd, "r"), pclose);
if (!pipe) {
throw std::runtime_error("popen() failed!");
}
while (fgets(buffer.data(), buffer.size(), pipe.get()) != nullptr) {
result += buffer.data();
}
return result;
}

Then 'kill' should be available. But it still does not solve your problem. Fix your 'A' program to properly shut down it's spawned processes.

My program runs on Ubuntu
And so? As I & @Christian-Ehrlicher have said, you cannot use this to kill a "sub-sub-process". You don't know the PID of the process you want to kill.
Can you please take the time to address what @Christian-Ehrlicher wrote earlier:
Then fix A so it properly shuts down B
[Under Linux you could try using
pkillto kill allBprocesses, but I really wouldn't recommend it....] -
I forgot to say that if A is opened in a terminal, B will also be closed when using Ctrl+C to close. What I am looking for is a method similar to sending a Ctrl+C signal.
-
The main reason is that I didn't write A and B programs. They have formed a good system. It's troublesome for me to change them. It's better to have a simpler method.
I found that PPID of B is 1......
I'm sorry for the trouble.

You need PID if you want to kill it...

@jiaming You could try to get PID from B using PID from A, see https://stackoverflow.com/questions/17743879/how-to-get-child-process-from-parent-process

Which is why I said I do not think that sending a
SIGINTto the parent (A) will have any effect onB...!A process ID value of 1 indicates that there is no parent process associated with the [...] process."

@jiaming kill( m_process->pid(), SIGINT ); <==this does what you need. You need somehow to find the pid of B.
std::string pid_str = exec( "pidof B" ); exec is defined in the post above and "pidof" is a linux command to find process id.
if( !pid_str.empty() ) {
int pid = std::stoi( pid_str );
kill( pid, SIGINT );

Nothing original to add, but I recommend all participants in this thread read http://morningcoffee.io/killing-a-process-and-all-of-its-descendants.html as he does a fair job explaining the relationships in POSIX environments.
If you meet the AI on the road, kill it.

@Kent-Dorfman thanks for sharing.
