[OT] Windows help needed

[michael at ortv.com]

Hi Sarah,

A couple of questions to help clarify:

Which version of Windows?

What software is it (if you can disclose the name). Perhaps the software can be timed on it's own or somehow modified?

Is it a program that requires a clean shutdown? Windows 2000/XP have utilities available that can "kill a process" much in the same way you can end a program through the Task Manager. Some info can be found at http://www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/freeware/pskill.shtml

Those are the questions that have come to mind so far.

I'm not an expert though so perhaps others have better ideas. I can try to help off-list as well.

Michael

Sorry for the OT post, but I know there are lots of Windows experts on
this list. If you can help, please email me off-list :-)

I have a third-party application that needs to run every night and
shutdown every morning. I can run it fine using Scheduled items, but
that doesn't have any options to stop programs, just to run them (at
least as far as I could work out).

Is there a shell command that I could save in a file and have that file
run every morning to stop the application?

TIA,
Sarah
