Killing processes with PSUTIL

Question

I\'m looking to write some code that will kill off a process based on it\'s name and who owns it. This works fine on Windows XP but when I come to run the same code on Windo

Answer 1

the problem is some of the processes does not have names, and therefor you get the error.

If you put that in a try block it will work:

PROCNAME = 'python.exe'
for proc in psutil.process_iter():
  try:
      if proc.name == PROCNAME:
      p = psutil.Process(proc.pid)

      etc..
  except:
    pass
