Re: (interrup-process ...) broken on NT native

Charlie> Here are some data points from 21.2 build32 Charlie, what is yourr OS type and version? I have NT4 SP5. Following is what I experience on my system: Charlie> - interrupt-process has no effect Well, this isn't strictly true. It works fine for processes not run under a shell ("cmd" in my case). If you evaluate these manually one-by-one (C-x C-e (eval-last-sexp)), you should not see the sleep process in task manager. (start-process "sleepy" nil "sleep" "60") (message "before: %S" (get-process "sleepy")) (interrupt-process "sleepy") (message "after: %S" (get-process "sleepy")) What does not work is interrupting a process runnning under a "cmd" shell: (start-process "shell" nil "cmd" "/c" "sleep" "5") (message "before: %S" (get-process "shell")) (interrupt-process "shell" t) (message "after: %S" (get-process "shell")) Neither "cmd" nor "sleep" get interrupted. Charlie> - kill-process prints the exit message in the process Charlie> buffer and the process no longer shows up in Charlie> list-processes but the NT process still shows up in the Charlie> Task Manager Not for me. Processes not running as sub-processes of a shell are really killed. Charlie> - delete-process has the same result as kill-process (no Charlie> suprise since the doc seems to indicate that it calls Charlie> kill-process) See above. Charlie> - killing the process from the Task Manager seems to work Charlie> fine (i.e. emacs does notice it) Yep, same here.
