Ending Task from a batch file ?

Capt'n Midnight · 08-09-2003 10:12AM #1

I want to close down a background app (mapisp32) by using a batch file.

I currently use a batch file to close services Gracefully on an Exchange server (unlike the GUI - the command line does not timeout) and need to close above mentioned app or the information store can take bloody ages to stop.

Any Ideas ?

(Mapisp32 is loaded automatically - it's used by the mail server to send reports and notifications)

Use the pskill utility from sysinternals.com

Download PSTools from http://www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/freeware/pstools.shtml

[php]
:Batch file to Kill process %1
@if [%debug%]==[] @echo off
if [%1]==[] goto listproc
pslist>pslist.txt
Find /i "%1"<pslist.txt>pslist.die
if not [%debug%]==[] type pslist.die
for /F "tokens=1-2,3*" %%i in (pslist.die) do echo pskill.exe %%j - to Kill process %%i
Goto Endd

:listproc
pslist

:endd
[/php]
