Is there a way to kill a batch process? Because killing a 'Script.bat' doesn't stop the dos commands it contains from running to their end.

Any idea folks?

Completely untested, but it might work


Let us know if it works.

If the batch window is visible send Ctrl+c to the command window. You may have also to send j (for Ja [im German]) and {Enter} to the window to confirm batch abort.

But maybe there's something wrong with the batch, when it runs to nowhere but shouldn't?!?

Folks, I appreciate your input, feels like I belong.

Untested Guest, even though it seems an obvious move, it doesn't work, doesn't kill the cmd process.
Obi-Wahn, you make sense as well, but my dos window is hidden.

I've worked around it with:

That's lethal

Thanks for your help

Correction!
Untested Guest you got it right. Forgot the % %. Now works fine.
Many thanks
