Detailed Termination Status of a Process

Windows NT4.0,SP3

Dear All,

I have created a number of child processes using

CreateProcess().Subsequently I am calling WaitForMultipleObjects() to

wait for all the child processes to terminate.When

all the child processes have terminated I want to know the termination

status of all the processes.GetExitCodeProcess() function retrieves the

termination status of the specified process.From the documentation of

the GetExitCodeProcess() it is not clear how I can get more detailed

information about the termination status of the process.At least I want

to get the information whether the process terminated normally or

abnormally;if terminally abnormally I want to increment an error count

and I want to get more information about the abnormal condition which

caused the process to terminate.This the code I am using right now:

for(a_iCount=0;a_iCount<a_iProcessNo;a_iCount++)

{

if (GetExitCodeProcess(pInfo[a_iCount].hProcess, &exitCode))

{

switch(exitCode)

{

case STILL_ACTIVE: printf("Process is still active\n");

break;

default: printf("Exit code = %d\n", exitCode);

break;

}

}

else

{

printf("GetExitCodeProcess() failed\n");

}

}

Can somebody tell me how to get more detailed termination status of a

process if possible with some sample code.

Thanking in anticipation,

Prabal
