[help] Searching For A Vbscript Code

hi .

Well people. i was wondering if it is possible to quit an app using a VBScript code, i mean i know how to launch an app with VBScript ...

example.

 Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
Set oExec = WshShell.Exec("F:\programs\ObjectDock\ObjectDock.exe")
WScript.Sleep 500
Set oExec = WshShell.Exec("C:\apps\Tab\Tab.exe") 

.....

but what if i not only want to open those app. but what if i want to quit them as weel using a VBScript, ??? do you know what do i must use to quit it ???

So. my question is: What is the Code that i need to use ?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Note: "i use lots of VBScript to launch a COMBO of App, and this way i do not need to launch everysingle app separately, and for another reason",

Try this....

WinClose ( "title" [, "text"] )
WinClose("Untitled - Notepad", "")

WinKill ( "title" [, "text"] )
WinKill("Untitled - ", "")

Terminates a named process.
ProcessClose ( "process" )
ProcessClose("notepad.exe")

'*.vbs
set WShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
set oExec = WShell.Exec("notepad")
WScript.Sleep 3000
WShell.Popup "Closing Notepad", 2, "",64
oExec.Terminate()

sid, thanks dude !!

but. when i want to close a process, using --> ProcessClose("firefox.exe") for example. it does not work at all. it says that there is a mismatch with the type of processes and i think fire fox is a process :S

what`s the problem ?

That's strange....well it works for me. Anyway try this..

strComputer = "."
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" _
    & "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")
Set colProcessList = objWMIService.ExecQuery _
    ("Select * from Win32_Process Where Name = 'notepad.exe'")
For Each objProcess in colProcessList
    objProcess.Terminate()
Next

Just replace notepad.exe with the process you want to close.
