Topic: Is there any way to make the two httpd.exe dependable.

Hi,
Is there any way to make the two httpd.exe dependable on each other. So that when I kill one main PID oh httpd.exe, other should get killed.

just wondering how are you running both at the same time?

also you could make a .bat file to call a stop on both files, my $.02

Hi,
Please guide how to write the .bat file for killing both the .exe of apache. I am not able to kill only the parent process, because I know only the PID of that. Urgent please

Actually, I tried this command but it works only for few win platforms.
I want to use some generic comand for all the win platform. Or please tell me some C Windows code to do so.

Actually in my C code I am able to start the Apache web server by calling spawn(). This returns the PID for the parent process httpd.exe. Using this PID I am able to kill that I am not able to kill both the httpd.exe because I am not able to find the PID for both. I did this.

hProcess1 = OpenProcess(PROCESS_TERMINATE, FALSE, pi.dwProcessId);
if (hProcess1 == NULL) return FALSE;
dwError = ERROR_SUCCESS;
if (!TerminateProcess(hProcess1, (DWORD)-1))
dwError = GetLastError();


But in vain. Please guide me. this also kills the parent process and lives the child httpd.exe running which in turn relies to all the web request.

actually i was thinking you could just do something like

path to http1 httpd -k stop
path to http2 httpd -k stop
