Batch: Taskkill timeout without waiting for timer

我怕爱的太早我们不能终老 提交于 2021-01-29 17:53:30
问题 I'm writing a batch script which runs a few programs. As each program finishes what it's doing it waits for either the user to close it out, moving on to the next, or being closed by taskkill after a timeout of so many seconds. If I consider the main script as MAIN, the program as TASK and the timer as KILLER. The MAIN starts the TASK and KILLER at (about) the same time. TASK does what it's supposed to and KILLER waits 600 seconds before killing TASK. However if TASK were closed by the user

Find Windows PID of a python script with Windows Command Prompt

问题 I am running two different python scripts running on a windows machine simultaneously and would like to kill one but not the other from the command prompt. Using taskkill with the name "python.exe" does not allow me to choose to kill just one of these scripts. Is there a way in windows to kill just one of these tasks, determined by the script from which it originated? For example: if I run python_process1.py and python_process2.py and would like to kill the .exe associated with just python

问题 The start command can launch an application like notepad in a batch file like this: start notepad start "my love.mp3" But how do I close the running application from the command line? I found taskkill in my searches but I don't think that is the right command because it's not working—it says no such file. How do I close an application launched with start ? 回答1: Taskkill is correct. But you must kill the process playing the file, not the file itself. Figuring out the registered handler for mp3

问题 For the purpose of running a game I need to start its exe twice and then kill one of the rundll32.exe processes. I don't want to do this by hand every time so I put it in a batch file like so: start Gothic2.exe start Gothic2.exe taskkill /IM rundll32.exe /F There are 2 instances of rundll32.exe running and both are killed, I only need to terminate one of them. PIDs don't help because the rundll32.exe gets a new one every time it is started. How can I kill only one process when there are more

Restarting explorer.exe only opens an explorer window

问题 The Problem In one part of a batch file (kind of, see Extra Information) I need to restart Explorer, so I use the, tried-and-tested method of taskkill /f /im explorer.exe >nul explorer.exe Then this happens explorer.exe is successfully terminated explorer.exe is started (see Image 2), but only an Explorer window opens, which I am left with indefinitely (see Image 1) I can then only properly restart Explorer by starting a new task from Task Manager, as, I'm assuming, Win + R is part of

What are exit codes from the taskkill utility?

问题 In my MSI installer custom-action handler (done with C++) I cannot obtain the SE_DEBUG_NAME privilege to be able to open and terminate a process, thus I have to resort to doing it with the taskkill utility as such: taskkill /f /pid 1230 What I need to know are the return codes from the taskkill to be able to see if the process was terminated or not and the reasons why it may not have been. I was able to obtain the following experimentally on my Windows 8 machine: 0 = success 1 = access denied
