How to launch other processes that dies when the parent does?

I know I can have the child process monitor the parent. Is there to have Windows do this automatically? After all, it does track the process launch hierarchy.

You cannot do this nativly through C#. You will need to use PInvoke to call the Win32 Job API.

The API calls are in this answer: How do I automatically destroy child processes in Windows?

You can use Jobs, try the SetInformationJobObject function, the key is use the JOB_OBJECT_LIMIT_KILL_ON_JOB_CLOSE value in the LimitFlags member of the _JOBOBJECT_BASIC_LIMIT_INFORMATION struct passed to the function.
