In this case following two problems occurred:
1. One more application needs to be in running state untill we require STAF
framework to be running.
Ex. Untill the execution of STAF framework is not closed, notepad needs to
be in running state. If we use any other application instead of notepad,
then it will create same problem.
2. If the comand prompt window running 'STAFProc' is closed by clicking on
close icon, then 'STAFProc' is terminated without executing registered
process at the time of terminating STAFProc. In this case notepad
