 |
|
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
| Code: | ; start the batch file
Run. %comspec% script.bat,,,runPID
;then to kill it:
Process, Close, %runPID% |
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:
| Code: |
Process, Close, cmd.exe
|
That's lethal
Thanks for your help |
