[Pharo-users] Kill all non-essential processes in one go?

Hi:

Is there an easy way to kill all non-essential processes in an image?

Some of my unit tests spawn a huge number of new processes, and I want to get rid of them easily when there was an error anywhere.

Any ideas?

To be able to select multiple items in the process browser would be a great start...

Thanks
Stefan

If you can give each process a name, then you can do something like this?

10 timesRepeat: [
[(Delay forSeconds: 20) wait] forkNamed: 'Test process'].

(Process allSubInstances select: [:each |
each name = 'Test process']) do: [:each |
each terminate]

cheers,
Mike

The problem is...what is "non-essential" ?

Some of my unit tests spawn a huge number of new processes, and I want to get rid of them easily when there was an error anywhere.

Processes are objects as everything. So I guess if they should be garbageCollected if nobody uses it. Did you try a Smalltalk garbageCollect ?

Any ideas?

ProcessorScheduler >> anyProcessesAbove: highestPriority

You can get all the processes lower to a certain priority. Then you can just send the terminate message to each of them. But this make sense if the priority of your processes are low.

To be able to select multiple items in the process browser would be a great start...

Thanks
Stefan
