Hi,=0A=0AI noticed that on windows, if I use the exec task to run a batch s=
cript which in turn starts other processes then if kill ant then the sub-pr=
ocesses created by the batch script still continues to run. I did some rese=
arch on google and found that the default java implementation of Process.de=
stroy does not kill the child processes created by a process on windows. I =
also found that there are some third party libraries like jvnet that provid=
e the capability of killing all processes created by a process on windows. =
So I thought of somehow extending the 'Execute' class of ant to use the fun=
ctionality of this 3rd party library, but I find that its difficult if not =
impossible to extend this class. I can't find a way to provide my implement=
ation of Process class that does something different when its destroy metho=
d is called. Other core tasks such as java task directly create an instance=
 of the 'Execute' class which makes it difficult to globally change how a
 process is destroyed within ant. If anyone can provide some suggestions on=
 how this can be accomplished I will be very grateful.=0A=0A=A0Currently th=
e build scripts of my project uses the exec task to run a bunch of batch sc=
ripts in parallel which in turn execute sql scripts by starting off another=
 process. I have written the ant script such that if any sql scripts fail t=
hen the ant build fails.When the build fails I notice that all the batch sc=
ripts have terminated as expected but the processes spawned by these batch =
scripts still continue to run.=0A=0AAny help is greatly appreciated.=0A=0AT=
