Windows Task Manager

Anyone have a suggestion in regards to using AutoIt to parse a PID [ process identifier from the Windows Task Manager ] to a file that will be scanned so the said PID [ which will be a specific file ] can be killed / terminated ?

How about pslist.exe from sysinternals ?

Runwait(@comspec & " /c pslist.exe > p.txt")

then read the p.txt file.....

EDIT: "SNAP!"

Or if you can wait, maybe Jon will get the PID stuff I wrote added to AutoIt soon...

Thanks for that - now using the PSLIST accross 100 Terminal Servers.

We have users running flash games from I-notes crippling the CPU on servers so at least now I have a snap shot of certain .EXEs and I can terminate them after I have taken the snap shot.

Just got to work on filtering out the stuff I want from the piped file and working on a way of terminating the said file automatically.....
