The PROCESS service provides a couple of ways to know when a process has
completed:
1) If you submit the PROCESS START request synchronously, e.g. using the
WAIT option, then the PROCESS START request does not complete until the
command it started completes. No looping is needed.
2) If you submit the PROCESS START request asynchronously, e.g. don't use
the WAIT option, then you can also use the NOTIFY ONEND option to notify
the handle that submitted the PROCESS START request by sending a message
to the submitting handle's queue when the process completes. So, you can
submit a QUEUE WAIT request to wait for this message. If you are waiting
for just one STAF/Process/End message on this queue, then you do not need
to submit this request within a loop. If you want a handle other than the
one that submitted the PROCESS START request to be notified when the
process completes, then you can use the optional HANDLE or NAME options,
and if you want a different machine to be notified, you can specify the
optional MACHINE option. You can also specify the optional KEY option
which will include whatever additional information you want in the
message. See section "8.12 Process Service" in the STAF User's Guide at
xxx for more information on these options.

[staf-users] Event when a child process exits
Hi,
How to determine a process(child process) which is started by STAF with
PROCESS service is exited by the parent process?
One way might be by using QUEUE service and checking for
?STAF/Process/End? type messages. This requires a looping.
Is there any other way which is similar to getting event like SIGCHLD
signal so that there is no looping required.
Thanks
Uma.
