I have subversion server with a post-commit hook to do something.
I want the checkin finish soon, not wait the hook script. But by design, the Subversion post-commit hook script will run until all child process exit, so using somthing like:
start another_prog...
in the hook bat file has no use.
So I want to know how to run another program in Windows bat file which not create child process or let the child process detach from the parent.
I found a method to resolve my question, compile the following c code and named the exe output as runjob.exe, and then in the hook bat file, use " runjob another_prog " , now it's ok.
#include <windows.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <tchar.h>
int _tmain()
{
char * pCmd = ::GetCommandLine();
// skip the executable
if (*pCmd++ == L'"')
{
while (*pCmd++ != L'"');
}
else
{
while (*pCmd != NULL && *pCmd != L' ')
++pCmd;
}
while (*pCmd == L' ')
pCmd++;
STARTUPINFO si;
ZeroMemory( &si, sizeof(si) );
si.cb = sizeof(si);
PROCESS_INFORMATION pi;
ZeroMemory( &pi, sizeof(pi) );
// Start the child process.
BOOL result = CreateProcess
(
NULL, // No module name (use command line)
pCmd, // Command line
NULL, // Process handle not inheritable
NULL, // Thread handle not inheritable
FALSE, // Set bInheritHandles to FALSE
DETACHED_PROCESS, // Detach process
NULL, // Use parent's environment block
NULL, // Use parent's starting directory
&si, // Pointer to STARTUPINFO structure
&pi // Pointer to PROCESS_INFORMATION structure (returned)
);
if (result) return 0;
char msg[2048];
FormatMessage
(
FORMAT_MESSAGE_FROM_SYSTEM,
NULL,
::GetLastError(),
MAKELANGID(LANG_NEUTRAL, SUBLANG_SYS_DEFAULT),
msg, sizeof(msg),
NULL
);
fputs(msg, stderr);
_flushall();
return -1;
}
