Process Management
Introduction
This module provides functionality for terminating Jack and Jacktrip processes that may be running on the client machine. It uses both native system commands and JavaScript promises to manage processes effectively.
Functions
getRunningProcesses()
Returns a list of currently running processes that match the provided command name.
Parameters
command(string): The name of the command to search for.
Returns
A Promise that resolves to an array of process details including properties such as pid, ppid, uid, gid, name, and cmd.
killProcessByPid()
Kills a specified process based on its process ID (PID).
Parameters
pid(number | undefined): The unique process ID of the process to be killed. If undefined, the function does nothing.
Returns
A Promise that resolves when the kill operation is completed.
killProcess()
Kills all instances of a process running under the specified command name.
Parameters
command(string): The command name of the process to kill.
Returns
A Promise that resolves when all processes matching the command are terminated.
Details
This function first retrieves all running processes using getRunningProcesses, then iterates through them and calls killProcessByPid to terminate each one.
killJack()
Kills all instances of Jack audio server processes.
Returns
A Promise that resolves when all Jack-related processes have been terminated.
Platform-specific Behavior
On Windows, it uses taskkill to forcefully terminate jack_connect.exe and jackd.exe processes.
killJacktrip()
Kills all instances of Jacktrip processes.
Returns
A Promise that resolves when all Jacktrip processes have been terminated.
Platform-specific Behavior
On Windows, it uses taskkill to forcefully terminate jacktrip.exe.
killAllProcesses()
Kills all Jack and Jacktrip processes on the client machine.
Returns
A Promise that resolves when all processes have been terminated. This function calls killJack and killJacktrip in succession to ensure both sets of processes are handled.
