Property Value

Boolean

true to terminate the child process when the parent exits; otherwise, false. The default is false.

Attributes

SupportedOSPlatformAttribute

Remarks

When this property is set to true, the operating system automatically terminates the child process when the parent process exits, regardless of whether the parent exits gracefully or crashes.

This property cannot be used together with UseShellExecute set to true.

On Windows, the behavior is implemented using Job Objects with the JOB_OBJECT_LIMIT_KILL_ON_JOB_CLOSE flag.

On Linux and Android, the behavior is implemented using prctl(PR_SET_PDEATHSIG).
