Is there any way to prevent my process (program) to be killed by another program, like Task Manager?
View 3 RepliesMy app starts an On-Screen Keyboard process like this:
Dim PID as System.Diagnostics.Process
:
PID = Process.Start("C:WindowsSystem32osk.exe")
:
[CODE]...
It seems to work 90% of the time. However, sometimes the PID.Kill() fails because it says the process already exited. At this point the OSK is always still there on screen. Yes, I know my code should be testing to see if the process is still running before trying to kill it, but given that the OSK is still on screen..
i want to insert all processes that running into listbox, and also how to "kill" process and start process?
View 1 RepliesMy VB.NET Windows form application includes a BackgroundWorker that calls a command-line batch file in a Systems.Diagnostics.Process object, which in turn calls a Java command. If the user cancels, the program kills the cmd.exe properly via process.kill() (it is ok in this case), but the java.exe child process remains, which makes the program hang. I've researched how to kill a parent and child process. It seems there are complicated ways to do this via WMI or Win32 API. But I'm hoping there is a simpler VB.NET way.
View 5 RepliesI am trying to create an app that will perform actions on specific times (much like the Windows Task Scheduler). I am currently using Process.Start() to lunch the file (or exe) required by the task. I am initiating a process by calling a file (an .mp3) and the process starts WMP (since it is the default application), so far so good. Now I wan't to kill that process. I know that it is normal behavior for the Process.Start(string, string) to return nothing (null in C#) in this case. So I am asking how can i close WMP when I called it through Process.Start(string, string)??

View 5 RepliesI've been doing some research on controlling another exe without Process.Kill() .
The reason why is that I want to have a main controller program that starts and terminates my other exes . I can't use Process.Kill() it just kills my exe without giving it a chance to save data or handle the form closing event . I want to separate my program to multiple exes to prevent a scenario which is if one of the exe hangs , all the other exe hangs .
When the termination event or signal is received , then the exe would do a rollback or handle the closing part to prevent data loss etc .
So far , I've only found some methods of doing that .
1) using TxT files to communicate between exes.
2) Inter-Process Communication (IPC) using name pipes .
I am developing a large, multi-windowed application. It creates a console using AllocConsole and uses it to dump various information useful for diagnosing and debugging situations with the hardware. The program drives sensitive scientific equipment, and CANNOT be allowed to quit abruptly in midstream. Unfortunately, clicking the close box on the console window does exactly that.
1. Suppress or disable the close box on the console window
2. Trap that event, or
3. Adjust something so that my process does not depend upon its console for its life?
Let's say i create 3 different process like this:
For i = 1 To 3
im pr As New Process
pr.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = True

At one point it's running twice and the above code kills em all including the one currently running, resulting in an access error. Is there any way to say, kill the older myprogram.exe only. Compare both of them and see which one was executed first and terminate this one, keeping the later one running.
I am making an updater that downloads some files from a webservice and copies them to a directory, overwriting old files.
It works ok, but what if a user for whatever reason has opened a file. It will throw an error, because the file is in use.
Is there a way to determine which process is using the file? Then I will be able to kill it.

I am writing a program that looks for a particular exe running on the stations on the same workgroup, if it finds it then it will kill it. I know how to look for running processes on the local pc but can not figure out how to do it on a remote pc. I am able shell("TASKKILL /S computername /F /IM exe") which works, however I do not have error logging. If there is an error the application just hangs.
