ABSTRACT:
A computer system (110) has a multi-processing software application operating (200) thereon. There are multiple client processes (221-228) concurrently operating as components of the multi-processing software application (200). Termination of the multi-processing software application (200) results from individual decisions made at each client process (221-228). If a particular client process determines that another client process is inoperable (530), the particular client process continues operation when the inoperable process is designated non-mandatory (550, 510), and terminates operation when the inoperable process is designated mandatory (550, 580, 598). Furthermore, when the inoperable process is designated single-instance mandatory and belongs to a particular process class, the particular client process continues operation unless it is the only member of the process class operating (580, 590, 595, 598). As each client process operates using this termination procedure, the ultimate effect is on the multi-processing software application itself.
