Hello,

I find a difference between Linux and Windows application process manageme
1) under Windows, we can not remove an exe file when it is running; while under Linux, we can do so.
2) under Windows, we can kill a runnnig exe file at its runtime while under Linux, we cannot do so except we specifically noted its process name.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

What exactly is your question?

This is filesystem behaviour differences, not process management. Under windows open files can't be deleted (one of the reasons for frequent reboots after driver installs, etc). Under Linux every file can be deleted at any time (if you have suitable access rights), but file contents will be still available for all programs that opened that file - until they close file, and it'll be gone.

YOu can kill almost anything with "killall" and "kill" commands, (using either program name, or process identifier) - if you have suitable rights for that.

Exactly professional awswer to me.
thanks very much your nice help.
as to this part, I need to add more details:
we are using 2 application control software (one for Windows,another one for Linux), user can add some application into blacklist in these 2 application control software to block un-wanted applications from running.
while we find a difference between Linux and Windows platform, under Applicaiton control for Linux:
1)Application control is running normally with application blacklist functioning
2)Start an application named A successfully
3)Then user add this application A into Application control blacklist
4)After this User will find the application A is still running, while if user newly start an application A, it will be blocked.
Question: under Windows Platform, after adding an application into blacklist, its running application will be blocked soon.
So here, can you give some help on this issue?

thanks a lot again.

Sounds like you've got a 3rd party tool to do 'Application control/blacklisting' . It all depends how its coded.
If I'm wrong, please explain how this control/blacklist DOES work/is implemented (on Linux).

I can't provide any help, because:
1) You didn't provide name of management software.
2) I don't know how exactly it is implemented and how it blocks applications from being run (and I'm not in the mood for looking into source code (if available), sorry.). If "application control software" comes with source code, you could try to find/fix problem yourself - by looking into source code and changing it. If "appplication control software" doesn't have source, then your only solution will be asking program creator (or technical support) for help/explanation.

Basically, blacklisting program could use "killall" (see "man killall" for details) to kill all processes that were blacklisted recently, but it looks like it isn't trying to do that. So, I guess it's a bug (or "feature"?) of "application control software", not an OS difference.

thanks your comments very much.

I have got the point, the application blocking mechanism is as follows:
1) user can add an applications 's k-menu entry (a desktop file )into application blocking list to get it blocked, so application control SW will block its k-menu entry not this appliation instead
2) so if this application is running, it is impossible to get it blocked again other than re-modify sources code, but this will be a tendious work.

thank again.

thanks your nice help.

I have got the points ,see as my above comments.
