Is there any way to implement an application that close other running application???

• Mike Brown

  It's best to post a close message to a process in order to "ask" it to close. Killing a process abruptly can lead to many problems.

  I do not know what is wrong in it ... I see it coding

  I think you did not understand me well

  MY application should to close other applications ...

  this is the situation ..

  In my server there are not less than 120 to 150 application running at the same time .. so everyday I try to keep the high performance by restart the server twice aday ..

  and because this huge number of applications .. it takes 2 hours aday just restarting the server because first close each application and restart and then run all applications again...

  so I have emplement a runner application and this helped me so much ... but unfortunatelly I do not know how to implement an application to close the applications(kill them ) how I can do it ...

  thanks in advance...

  Here:

  System.Diagnostics.Process[] myProcesses;

  myProcesses = Process.GetProcessesByName(@checkedListBox1.CheckedItems.ToString());

  int processCount = myProcesses.Length;

  for(int i = 0; i < processCount; i++)

  {

       

  myProcesses[ i ].Kill();

   

  }

  I hope this will work fine.

  is it something like this ...

  for (int i=0;i<checkedListBox1.Items.Count;i++)

  {

  System.Diagnostics.Process myProcesses;

  myProcesses = Process.GetProcessesByName(@checkedListBox1.CheckedItems.ToString());

  myProcesses.CloseMainWindow();

  if(!myProcesses.CloseMainWindow())

  {

  myProcesses.Kill();

  }

  }

  actually this code is not working ... could any body help me modify it...

  Yes thats it but you dont need to check for for MAin window, Simply do myProcessKill() it'll close that application.

  Process.Kill will cut the process off at the knees. If it's in the middle of writing a block of data to file it could get cut off in the middle (if it's not an atomic write) and corrupt the file.

  Asking the application to close via CloseMainWindow is the best course of action. If it can't respond then you can think about using Kill:
  
  Process[] myProcesses;

  myProcesses = Process.GetProcessesByName("Notepad");
  foreach(Process myProcess in myProcesses)
  {
  if(!myProcess.CloseMainWindow())
  {
  process.Kill();
  }
  }
  

  I would still advise against using Kill. if you're just shutting down the computer, that's overkill and you risk corrupting data.

  You could post a WM_CLOSE message to the applications main window asking the application to exit. Anything else would terminate the application abruptly and likely leave any opened files in an indeterminate state.
  
  There's not guarentee that an appplication will/can respond to an WM_CLOSE message.

  rizwan>>>>the same error ... array does not contain definition for kill

  but how for example microsoft windows do that ...

  for example when you go to task manager and then to processes tab and force the process ( application to end) how that was coded

  I want something like that ..

  thanks again in advance

  but there is an errors

  if I make it without array as I posted there is an error --->> can not implicity convert type System.Diagnostics.Process[] to

  System.Diagnostics.Process

  and if i make it an array there is another error --->>> system array does not contain a definition for kill

  what shall I doo

  Its myProcesses[ i ].Kill(); not myProcesses.Kill();

  You must be trying myProcesses.Kill(); which causes that error.

  Take a Look at the System.Diagnostic.Process Class.

  e.g.

  Process p=Process.GetProcessByName("windord.exe");
  p.Kill();
