 Post subject: Kill a process....
PostPosted: December 20th, 2009, 10:08 pm 
How do I write a script that will kill a process by its process name?
I could write

Code:
run taskkill /f /im firefox.exe


but that will display the CMD prompt. I want to kill the process invisibly.

Code:
Process, Close, firefox.exe


This will close only the first instance if there are more than one. If you wanted to close all running instances, you could do this:
Code:
Loop
{   Process, Close, firefox.exe
   IfEqual, ErrorLevel, 0, Break   ;if out of targets, exit loop
}
MsgBox, done
If there is a problem with closing one instance, the loop will exit and the rest will not be closed, though. You could parse the list of running processes and close firefox.exe processes only.
