Batch File Help!

[rscosworth]

Guys,

I have a batch file which is meant to close down a process currently running on the pc.

when i type the following line into a command window (start, run, CMD) the process is shut down correctly. When i enter the same line into a notepad and save as a batch file and run it, it contunally loops on an open window (as shown below)

taskkill /im ehshell.exe

Here is what i get......ERROR

Cheers

im not sure that helps to be honest.

i know how to use the taskkill command and it works perfectly when using it manually on the command window, however when i put it into the batch file it just seems to spool up and up the page, as per the error above.

enlighten me if you think the link helps?

nope, still gives the same output

mm i don't know then its weird really as it shouldn't keep looping like that

you could just use quit at the end of the of the batch, that should do it

but it doesnt actually kill the process

if it doesn't then its some think to do with the administrator privileges
of the process then maybe?

not sure, if i can run it from the command line, whats the difference running it from a batch file, both exactly the same.......

 

[Tosk]

im not sure really but that link i posted sort of tells you how its done

I'd use PSKILL
...essentially the same tool as XP's taskkill
