Re: [Expectperl-discuss] speed up object close

[Christoph S. <csc...@am...>]

Hello Austin,

thanks for your answer. Currently, I'm already using hard_close, but 
wonder, due to the many objects I close sequentially, even hard_close 
takes too long.
Would you have an idea how to speed the closure up?

Regards & merry XMas!

                 Because it allows the process to die gracefully before it 
kill -9s it.
The graceful manner is usually to get the process to terminate itself and
just be ready for that. That's usually done by closing the handle, e.g.
close ($obj), or sending "exit\r" to whatever you are logged into. If the
child is ready to go away hard_close will return quickly.
