Windows - kill a copy command ?

[MoshiachNow]

HI,

I kill other commands using Win32::OLE process functions.
However a command line "copy" command will not appear in the process list...
Any idea how to identify it and kill it ?
I use it like :

system("start /B /MIN cmd /c copy /Y \"$TEMPDIR\\100MB\" \"\\\\$REMOTE_HOST\\$LARGEST\"");

thanks

it's not a process, it's just a DOS command, no?

Yeah - it's built-in to cmd, so the process you want to kill is the cmd process. No idea how you get to that though, as you're running that with the start command.

The options are: fast, cheap and right - pick any two.. &

I suggest you give the cmd process a "title" when initiated the "start". This could help identify it in the process list in order to be able to kill the correct process.

C:\>help start

Thanks to all.
Ended up running a "xcopy" instead,which DOES appear in a process table ...
