shut down an application on remote machine gracefully

[Gary]

Hi, there,

I have an application running on remote machine, and would like to close it
gracefully. Like a human go to there, push the stop button, and close it
after several seconds.
How to implement that in C#? Any suggestion?

Thanks lot,

Gary

The most simplistic method you are going to find would be to have your
application open a port and wait for a new connection to it that sends a
specific value/string across, which if found calls Application.Exit().

Hi, there,

Thank you very much for your reply. Could you please explain that in detail?
The application is coded in COM. How to open a port, and listening in that
case? And how to implement the sending in C# program?

Thanks lot,
