FIX: call the hideWindow() method as long as the process is running.

[apanna]

On windows, with procserv compiled under cygwin, if an ioc is started using procserv an empty cmd window (see below) stays in the foreground and on closing the cmd window, procserv is terminated. The commit fixes this issue. Here's the command that I used to run the ioc with procserv:

@echo off
rem incase we do dynamic builds
if exist "dllPath.bat" (
    call dllPath.bat
)
if exist "C:\Epics\extensions\bin\%EPICS_HOST_ARCH%\procServ.exe" (
    procServ --allow -n "SIM-DETECTOR" -p pid.txt -L log.txt --logstamp -q -i ^D^C 3002 ..\..\bin\%EPICS_HOST_ARCH%\simDetectorApp.exe st.cmd
) else (
    ..\..\bin\%EPICS_HOST_ARCH%\simDetectorApp.exe st.cmd
)

Thanks for the suggestion. I have asked Freddie Akeroyd (who provided the original fix) for his opinion.

Hi Alireza,

I had forgotten I had added some code to our EPICS base that hid this extra IOC window, it is indeed present without it. Unfortunately adding the hideWindow() to the connection loop also hides the windows I use to launch procServ, but moving the hideWindow() to inside processClass::processClass() in processFactory.cc around line 212 (after the setsid() but before execvp()) works well for me, does it work in your case too?

Regards,

Freddie

Hi Freddie,

Yes! moving the hideWindow() call to processFactory.cc inside the processClass constructor works for me as well.

Best, Ali
