Kill process in win2000

[rksharma]

I have a program wherby you can close the window but the application stays active in the task list and has to be terminated.
I need to automate this.

eg. If the exe is called "abc.exe" then i nedd to parse the active processes and kil all the "abc.exes".
The window would have been closed.

How do you code this in Microsoft Bisual c++?

Thanks

Rocky.

If you dont have a user interface, for example a icon in system tray, then i would suggest creating a service out of you application. this can be stopped and started like any other service.

if you dont want to do this, then best create a system tray icon, with wich you are able to tell the application to stop.

if this has to be donne absolutely automatically, i think you dont get around programming a service.

I agrre with your comments but it is an external application and we have no control over it. Hopefully it will get fixed in the future.
We cannot create a system try icon as it run on a citrix Nfuse portal where the user does not get the normal desktop.

Thanks

Well then, thats bad... I only can give you a hint. I never made it myselfe till now, but look on the internet for "enumerating processes" or something like this.

may you will be able to find anything on codeguru.earthweb.com or

Hope this helps

You can do it using CreateToolhelp32Snapshot(), Process32First() and Process32Next().

Just get the applications processID, and then use the TerminateProcess() function.

Thanks.

The
CreateToolhelp32Snapshot(), Process32First() and Process32Next().

functions work fine.
