[erlang-questions] Issue in killing the process

[Prakash Parmar]

As mentioned in exit/2<http://erlang.org/doc/man/erlang.html#exit-2> doc,


 "... If Reason is the atom normal, Pid does not exit. If it is trapping exits, the exit signal is transformed into a message {'EXIT', From, normal} and delivered to its message queue. ..."


use exit(whereis(Pid), Reason), where Reason will be anything than normal .


/Cheers
Prakash

Subject: [erlang-questions] Issue in killing the process

Hi all,


     In my application, I spawned a process and registered with a name.
That process will do multiple rpc async calls. After making async calls,
I tried to kill the process using exit(whereis(process_name), normal)
but process is still existing and results of async call are yielded.
Can you please suggest how can I kill the process and results should not
be yielded?


Regards,
Gattu shivakrishna.
