ProcessClose appears to close all processes with the given name

[graydwarf]

Passing in iexplore.exe to this script will close all instances of iexplore.

If $CmdLine[0] = 0 Or $CmdLine[0] > 1 Then Exit (-1) ; This script requires exactly 1 argument
ProcessClose($CmdLine[1])
Exit @error

Based on the documentation which reads:

"If multiple processes have the same name, the one with the highest PID is terminated--regardless of how recently the process was spawned."

My expectation given that comment is that only one process will exit and it's the one with the highest PID.

What am I missing?

The iexplore.exe process closes its child processes when it exists.

iexplore.exe <-- Kill this, it kills the rest

- iexplore.exe

- iexplore.exe

- iexplore.exe

Same thing with chrome.exe. You just have to kill one to close 'em all.
