<DIV><FONT face=Tahoma size=2>When I run programs under Windows or Linux, I can see that an abrupt termination of one process may lead to the whole job being terminated by the process managers. This is not always the case, as sometimes orphaned processes are still running. Has anyone seen this with mpd or smpd on Windows? Could it be that the behaviour in such cases is not strong, meaning that it is up to the process manager to decide what to do next? If so, then what are the criterias for terminating a job?</FONT></DIV></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE></td></tr></table><br>
