Currently i am busy with this little script here
I want start a application automatically. And close it after a chosen time.
So far the script works fine, BUT:

I do not want to loose Data, caused by the brutal termination of the process. Is there a way to shut it down smoothly?
The program i am using is a process running as a Trayicon without a window. (notepad.exe is only meant as an example)

Perhaps i can define a hotkey for the program to close itself.
Let me have a look at this...

Unfortunately there is no way to setup a hotkey to close my program.
i am going to observe the "lose Data behaviour"

If it does not work, i need to find another way...

Thanks for now

how about WinClose?
(DetectHiddenWindows might helps)

Actually this app has not Windows,
But if you perform i right-click on its trayicon there is a menu coming up,
where you can select options or exit the program.

i thought about, detecting the icon position and perform the right-click
but i think this is not the smartest solution...

Thanks,

If you have to manipulate the program from the tray icon perhaps utilizing majkinetor's Tray 2.1 will be of assistance. Here's a thread to reference for troubleshooting if you decide to use Tray 2.1 as well.
