Subject: Re: Killing a windows process

I'm using win32/process's Create function to start a new Windows
process.

However, if I do a Process.kill(0, <pid>) to a program that I started
via Ruby, it always returns back an array with the pid in it, even if
the process was killed.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Joe
