How do I programmatically end a process in windows


Recommended Posts

We are running a test on a circuit board. In order to test the unit we are required to use a .dll that the client wrote. The problem is if the board is bad the .dll hangs. Because the board is a security device we are not allowed to mess with the dll in any way and the source code is not available. The only way to fix the problem right now is to go into task manager and end the process.

Does any one have code that will do this programmatically or know what the API call would be

Here are some VIs that use system exec to execute the tasklist and taskkill commands.

Jim, I had wrote some functions, using .NET framework, this will work with 7.0 and up.. Code is at home, so I cannot post it right now.. If there is someone interested, I will post tomorrow..

This including:

functions : PIDs by names, names by PIDs, kills, CloseWindows, how many threads, memory counts, processor "busy" couns, child windows counts..

look at system.dll in .NET framework.

Besides, you could use pskill.exe from sysinternals.. You can kill by name there. This is easyest way..
