Detecting with CMD.exe is about to terminate
CcB
trying to detect when the cmd.exe process is about to exit so that I can
close all other processes (if any) that have been created by the cmd.exe
process.
I cannot do this by listening to the message queue as console apps do not
have a message queue.
Is there another way of doing this?

Maybe. I haven't tried it but I _think_ that your success in that depends on
how cmd.exe creates processes.
Look up Job Objects:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms684161(VS.85).aspx
Create a job, add the process that runs the image cmd.exe to it. Wait on the
cmd.exe process. When it terminates call TerminateJobObject(). As I said, I
_think_ that will kill processes that cmd.exe starts with CreateProcess()
and without specifying the "break away" flag. Don't forget to close all the
handles that you open when you are done.
If you go that route, let us know how you do.

detect the exit of the child, unless you were to do something such as hooks.
A console application can however have a message queue; it's creation is
determined by the same criteria as for a GUI application. A message queue
would be required for a window in a console application.
If it is possible to have the exit detection in the console application,
then a Signals Handler will be easy and effective.
