ProcessClose() Woes

[MrBeatnik]

Hi all,

Hope ya have some advice

The following code works as you would expect; DOS box opens, waits 2 secs, then closes.

$runPID=Run(@SystemDir & "\" & "cmd.exe",@SystemDir)
Sleep(2000)
ProcessClose($runPID)

However, if I open the DOS box as another user, I cannot close the box at all, as so:

RunAsSet("Administrator","domain-name","password")
$runPID=Run(@SystemDir & "\" & "cmd.exe",@SystemDir)
Sleep(2000)
ProcessClose($runPID)
RunAsSet()

Can anyone give any suggestions for process killing as another user?

Thanks!

This is because the user account you are logged into does not have this privilege. You can run the following command:

RunAsSet("Administrator","domain-name","password")
RunWait(@AutoItExe & ' /AutoIt3ExecuteLine "ProcessClose(' & $runPID & ')"')

Yep, I knew the user doesn't have the rights, hence getting the processclose to "runas".

This works a treat, I always forget about the AutoIt script lines.

Thanks!

Pfff.. have been trying for like an hour now...

but create a shortcut to tskill (located in system32) with the arguments cmd

then run your shortcut and delete it.

I couldn't get runwait(@comspec & " /c" & "tskill cmd", "", @SW_HIDE) to work...

Good luck.

EDIT - I completely forgot Processclose .... why do I always try things the hard way? DOE!
