i dont understand how "IM" stands for TASK KILL....shouldn t it be TK?wait hang on...i saw a line....so um...IM stands for imageName? how strange....anyw ays.....does imagename just mean the filename?
os.system() calls spawns cmd.exe and pass the string "taskkill /im whatever.exe" to it. Taskkill is a Windows command (it's just an arbitrary string in python - where'd you get TK, anyway?). The "/im" tells killtask that you know the IMage name of the process that you want to kill (as oposed to /pid, when you know the process ID). I hope that's clear enough. All this is in the docurmtation that I have provided.

Then look up the "command line reference a to z" for your computer. Sorry about that (I hate using command line commands and didn't consider that some might not be on all machines).

The only way I can think of is to fork a process and then call the

But, I want is that I can have a Main app that will start a new process or kill one particular or all process. The process will open a console exe. But, I don't want the user to close the console windows by themselves, and force them to use the Main app. If I use Windows Services, I'm not sure can I create one dynamically, and then kill easily. But, if using console application, my following coding is working now. using System;

Hello, I have a need to kill a process. It sounds each enough, but the problem is that I have multiple executables running from different paths. Say, I have MyService.exe running from C:\FolderA and the same MyService.exe running in C:\FolderB. I want to kill the process that is running under C:\FolderA. So I guess I have a need to get the Process ID for the executable under C:\FolderA. How can I kill the process when you know the...

Hi Fellows, I have a problem with process termination. I have a python code that apache runs through a django interface. The code is very simple, first, it creates a process with the subprocess.Popen call, and afterwards, (using a web request) the python code uses the PID of the previously created process(stored in a db) and kills it with an os.kill call using the SIGKILL signal. The creation of the process is ok, apache calls the...

These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
