Sending Ctrl-C to a process started with WshShell

[robdon]

Hi,

I start a process on a unix machine from my VB6 app, using the WshShell with the .Exec command.

It starts a program on windows called 'plink' (from the PuTTY program to run unix commands) that then runs a script on the unix machine.

Now, I want to be able to send a CTRL-C to the script/plink.

I've tried:

excWSH.StdIn.Write "^C"

But it doesnt seem to do much.

Anyone know how to send a CTRL-C to a process that is started like this?

Thanks,

Rob.

How about:

SendKeys ("^C")

Have fun.

Sendkeys sends to the focused application...

This app/script is running in the background as a process, hidden, so it wont work with sendkeys.
