We're looking to be able to create a batch file that shuts outlook prior to backing it up using veritas backup exec. Any ideas what command we can use?
Piece of cake - but kinda risky. There may be another way to do it, but on NT you can use the "kill" command.
Syntax: kill outlook
- it works!
I havent tried it in a script, but there's got to be a way to do it. Like i said though - it's much easier to shutdown, or even force a reboot rather than kill an open application.
I think I know what you need to do but, not sure how to get you there. If you schedule a logoff of your server before you start your backup, it will close outlook. BackupExec will still run correctly logged off because it is runs as services.
