Stoping process

[JCParker]

Dose any one have a short script that stops a running process after a short period of time? I have a misbehaving app which spawns processes and dose not always clean up. Thanks in advance Why do we grow up to become the people our parents warned us about?

If you are running windows xp professional, try to use sc query /? command from the command prompt.

sc command is for services only, not all processes...

Dim cProcesses, oProcess Set cProcesses = QueryWMI(sName,"root\cimv2","select * from win32_Process where name = '" & wscript.arguments.named("name") & "'","","") If Not IsObject(cProcesses) Then Wscript.Echo " *** Could not retrieve process (or process does not exist) on " & sName Else For Each oProcess In cProcesses On Error Resume Next oProcess.Terminate() If Err <> 0 Then Wscript.Echo " *** Error terminating on " & sName Wscript.Echo " " & Err.Description Else Verbose " Terminated on " & sName End If Next End If Give the correct process name. Then save the file with extension wsf (Exmaple: EndProc.wsf). Then go to the command line type the below command where the EndProc.wsf file reside: EndProc.wsf /computer:[YourComputerName] /name:[YourEndProcessName] Or you should look at the Kill command[^].
