Terminating Programs

[hopya]

Hello,

I hope someone can help me. I have a perl script that runs a c program. My problem is that the C program doesn't terminate when I close the broser. The C program only terminates when it times out. Can someone tell me how to terminate the C program when I close the browser and not by waiting for the time out. Thanks a lot in advanced for the help.

I've had similar things with Perl actually. I'm not entirely sure about this, but I think that the browser is basically your standard output, and just closing the browser isn't going to stop a program running. Hence, I had a massive Perl script that executed right the way through despite the fact that I closed the browser down straight away.

I am guessing that you need Java to do something like this, which I believe keeps track of the actual port where you're plugged into on the server, but It'd be nice to hear this confirmed by someone else..


Matt.
