Method Reference
ProcessClose
Terminates a named process
ProcessClose "process"
Parameters
| process | The title or PID of the process to terminate. |
Return Value
None. (Returns 1 regardless of success/failure.)Remarks
Process names are executables without the full path, e.g., "notepad.exe" or "winword.exe"
If multiple processes have the same name, the one with the highest PID is terminated--regardless of how recently the process was spawned.
PID is the unique number which identifies a Process. A PID can be obtained through the ProcessExists or Run commands.
In order to work under Windows NT 4.0, ProcessClose requires the file PSAPI.DLL (included in the AutoIt installation directory).
The process is polled approximately every 250 milliseconds.
