Child process don't die

[MT001]

Hi  to All,

I'm using exif tool inside my c++ application in Windows environment.
I can  launch exif tool using ::CreateProcess API correctly, this create 2 exifTool process (one master and one child)
When I close my application ( or it crash) only one of 2 exifTool process is closed (the master)..the child process remains alive.

How I cound avoid that ?

Thanks

With the C++ Interface for ExifTool, I solved this problem using a watchdog process that terminates exiftool if the main program dies.
