Isolate durable task in a dedicated Windows process group

XMLWordPrintable

    • 1.38

      Durable task is launched in the process tree of slave.jar process.

      When slave agent exits, it doesn't kill durable tasks (ProcessTree utility excludes the detached build). But when the slave is managed as a Windows service, the service wrapper kills all processes of the process tree and consequently stops durable tasks.

      Durable task should be launched in a dedicated process group isolated from slave.jar process tree.

          wmic process call create looks promising, if it can be made to pass Create_New_Process_Group.

          By depending on net.java.dev.jna:jna-platform:4.1.0 we could call Kernel32.INSTANCE.CreateProcess with WinBase.CREATE_NEW_PROCESS_GROUP. Would it help?

          This stackoverflow http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5177140/creating-independent-process suggests that it should help. But it says that an intermediate process needs to be created to properly escape the supervision of the root process.

          Not having durable tasks on Windows is a major blocker for me. Is there any update on this issue?
