Win32::Process return with exit code = 143

[jbenezech]

Hi All,

I have a perl script which starts a java process using Win32::Process. Here is the code to start the java proces:
Win32::Process: :Create($Proces sObj,
shift(@args),
join(" ", @args),
0,
Win32::Process: :NORMAL_PRIORIT Y_CLASS|Win32:: Process::CREATE _NO_WINDOW|Win3 2::Process::DET ACHED_PROCESS,
$installPath) or $retCode = 99;

$lastRunningPid = $ProcessObj->GetProcessID() ;

$ProcessObj->Wait(Win32::Pr ocess::INFINITE );

$ProcessObj->GetExitCode($r etCode);


Sometimes the java process returns with an exit code of 143 which is none of my App exit code. This seems to happen when the java process takes a long time to terminate (2h).

Anybody knows about that return code ? What does it mean ? Timeout ?


Cheers,
Jerome

I have no experience with this type of thing, but this is more of a Java issue than a perl issue. I would suggest that you google "exit code 143" as that brought up at least a million results, and I'm betting some of them might be illuminating.

Sorry, you are right. I did not even think about looking on the java side....
For info, exit code 143 means the JVM received a SIGTERM signal. In my case this is due to a user logoff event.
Thanks for your help,
Jerome
