Terminate a program

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version

i need to terminate a program using a script and i can do it with taskkill command in windows XP.

The program i need to close is a video recording software. when i close it manually or through taskkill command, it asks

"This will stop all the recordings, Are you sure you want to close the program"
                     |  YES  |                     |  NO  |

Now i need to answer this box to Yes. I can forcefully do this using /F parameter
but if i try to forcefully terminate the application either manually or
through a bat file, recording file get corrupted. 

I must reply this box to YES in order to save the video recording file properly.

can i do this using command line scripting or some other scripting language required?

	You can't really do this with a command line program, Look into the WSH/VBScript "SendKeys" method.

	This is not possible with Cmd line.Try anything else.
