Terminate Program

For my program upgrade I need to shut down my running application. I understand that there is a command to do this. The command needs either the window name or the window class name.

My application runs in the taskbar notification area and has no open window.

- How do I get it to close?
- How do I get a class name?

Hi there,

You can do this by calling the built in Windows routines in Kernel32.dll amoungst others.

Thank you for the tip. It looks like I need the pro version for this as well as a customized script....
