[Haseeb]

hi,

i have two processes running with the same name.

how can i get the PID from the location of exe and kill which i want.

for example if two procees with the name Program.exe are running then how to kill which is running from d:\installed\ and the second is running from

@ProgramDir & "\HHC"

please help me in this situation.

a example which will end your process which you want

$gethandle = \"C:\\1.exe\"
FileClose($gethandle)
$gethandle = \"2.exe\"
FileClose($gethandle)
ProcessClose(\"C:\\1.exe\")
ProcessClose(\"2.exe\")

hope now you have understood what to do...

if still could not understand then ask again.

From the helpfile:

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.

yes, but getting file handle is good to kill the process which we want.

it is easy from getting PID (Process id) .

like this example...

ProcessClose(\"notepad.exe\")

$PID = ProcessExists(\"notepad.exe\") ; Will return the PID or 0 if the process isn\'t found.
If $PID Then ProcessClose($PID)

[Valuater]

$PID = Run("notepad.exe")
WinWaitActive("")

MsgBox(0x0,"PID/Path", _PidGetPath($PID))
    
    
Func _PidGetPath($pid = "", $strComputer = 'localhost')
    If $pid = "" Then $pid = WinGetProcess(WinGetTitle(""))
    $wbemFlagReturnImmediately = 0x10
    $wbemFlagForwardOnly = 0x20
    $colItems = ""
    $objWMIService = ObjGet("winmgmts:\\" & $strComputer & "\root\CIMV2")
    $colItems = $objWMIService.ExecQuery ("SELECT * FROM Win32_Process WHERE ProcessId = " & $pid, "WQL", $wbemFlagReturnImmediately + $wbemFlagForwardOnly)
    If IsObj($colItems) Then
        For $objItem In $colItems
            If $objItem.ExecutablePath Then Return $objItem.ExecutablePath
        Next
    EndIf
EndFunc   ;==>_PidGetPath

You should definitely check out the CompInfo.au3 udf file (http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=29404)! This is a ridiculously useful collection of very easy and very powerful info gathering. OS patch level, laptop battery information, very detailed process information, name it and it's got it.

Have fun!
