federicocarboni / node-ntsuspend Goto Github PK

This is an excellent library which addresses a shortcoming of vanilla NodeJS. It would be beneficial if an option could be added in where the suspend/resume functions apply to children/grandchildren of a spawned process.

A common scenario this would greatly assist in is controlling executables that were lauched with spawn.

Great to find this project but in my test it did not work and both functions are returning 'true'. Here is my version info:

OS Name: Microsoft Windows 10 Home
OS Version: 10.0.19043 N/A Build 19043
Node Version: 14.2.0

What I tried:
Tried both cmd.exe and powershell.exe as shells.

Using 'exec' function from 'node:child_process' to play an audio file using 'ffplay'.

One thing I noticed is that the PID reported by node is not accessible from another shell to suspend using 'pssuspend'.

Will edit this when I try 'spawn' tomorrow. Please let me know how I can be of help.
