How to use the Process Viewer object to kill?...

[RGBreality]

Okay, not to kill any organic life forms! Just digital ones...

I am trying to figure out how to use the Process Viewer object to terminate a non-MMF2 process which I have started. I have been studying the example MMF2 application which comes with the Process Viewer object, but I'm afraid it's going over my head.

While I dig how the author created a variation of Windows' Task Manager to terminate processes, I need to terminate a specific process automatically without user intervention (and therefore isn't to be selected, as is done in the example application).

The application I'm trying to terminate is IIS Manager (which is "C:\WINDOWS\system32\iis.msc"). Could anyone give me a hand with a sample application how this might be done?

Thank you very much in advance (as always)!

This will kill off Notepad if it is running.

Could someone repost Stephen's example, I'd love to know this?

Oh, I meant the image example (the one that's broken now) of how to kill, or view, a process without intervening. I need my application to continually check for a process, and if that process isn't found anymore, the application shuts down.

Reallt need to know this... Been trying to figure out how the process viewer works, looking at the example and so, but man, it is not exactly intuitive.

If in doubt of using the Process Viewer object for killing another application, you could always execute the Windows command: "taskkill.exe /F /IM nameofapp.exe" (like I have for a long time, I don't know how to use the Process Viewer neither.)

How do you do that?

It's not that simple. I need the app to be apple to check whether or not another process is running or not.

There must be someone who have used this extension?
