Thread when starting a process

            System.Diagnostics.Process process = new System.Diagnostics.Process();
            process.StartInfo.FileName = "discordbotloader.exe";
            process.StartInfo.Arguments = "-bot";
            process.StartInfo.WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Normal;
            process.Start();
            process.WaitForExit();

            System.Diagnostics.Process process = new System.Diagnostics.Process();
            process.StartInfo.FileName = "discordbotloader.exe";
            process.StartInfo.Arguments = "-bot";
            process.StartInfo.WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Normal;
            process.Start();
            process.WaitForExit();

is there a way to make that process run in the background when i close the application that started the process? if i close the main console app, it also closes the new process

like it creates a new process under the original process how can i avoid that

You're looking for a service worker, probably

nvm fixed it, i used process.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = true;

Ah, duh, my bad I thought you're trying to create a separate task from the same code, completely missed that you're running something else. Makes sense

natxnekOP•6mo ago

well, i am technically running the same exe

(so that would be a detached process)
