How to end a program at command prompt

[furtech]

Hello,

I'm looking for a way to end a program in the command line. I don't want to simply kill the process, I want to close it gracefully. Does anyone know of way to do this?

I'd like to Schedule a Task that will close the program each night for me, and then restart it 5 minutes or so later.

Thanks,

This is what you need. Even though it seems its killikng the app or program you can add the timeout parameter. which will give the program time to close Gracefully.

then add a 5 minute delay in the batch file to start the program again..

post if that doesnt work !

mobajwa,

Sweet thanks! I've managed to get it to work.

Only problem is that I've now realised it requires me to click a 'Yes' before actually closing so that idea has gone out the window.

Thanks,

Taskkill.exe used without the /F switch passes a normal Windows close command.

Do a taskkill /? to see the syntax.
