41       child processes in a platform-generic nature.

COMMANDS

44       ::processman::find_exe name
45              Locate an executable by the name of name in the system path.  On
46              windows, also add the .exe extention if not given.
47
48       ::processman::kill id
49              Kill a child process id.
50
51       ::processman::kill_all
52              Kill all processes spawned by this program
53
54       ::processman::killexe name
55              Kill a process identified by the executable. On Unix, this trig‐
56              gers a killall.  On windows, twapi::get_process_ids is  used  to
57              map a name one or more IDs, which are then killed.
58
59       ::processman::onexit id cmd
60              Arrange  to  execute  the  script cmd when this programe detects
61              that process id as terminated.
62
63       ::processman::priority id level
64              Mark process id with the priorty level. Valid levels: low, high,
65              default.
66
67              On Unix, the process is tagged using the nice command.
68
69              On  Windows,  the  process  is modifed via the twapi::set_prior‐
70              ity_class
71
72       ::processman::process_list
73              Return a list of processes that have been triggered by this pro‐
74              gram,  as  well  as a boolean flag to indicate if the process is
75              still running.
76
77       ::processman::process_list id
78              Return true if process id is still running, false otherwise.
79
80       ::processman::spawn id cmd args
81              Start a child process, identified by id. cmd is the name of  the
82              command to execute. args are arguments to pass to that command.
