taskkill

I am trying to do a list of Android task killers that are installed by default on the operating system. The problem is that Android is modified by the phone's manufacturer and it is hard to keep up with what everyone is doing. So far I have found this: Smart manager - On Samsung phones. Could not call alarm manager but you can avoid this if your package name contains "alarm" or "alert" Doze - On Android 6. should not interrupt the app but it may delay alarm manager or network processes(especially if your app is not active and your phone is not charging). Xiaomi , AutoStart . If AutoStart is

In my MSI installer custom-action handler (done with C++) I cannot obtain the SE_DEBUG_NAME privilege to be able to open and terminate a process, thus I have to resort to doing it with the taskkill utility as such: taskkill /f /pid 1230 What I need to know are the return codes from the taskkill to be able to see if the process was terminated or not and the reasons why it may not have been. I was able to obtain the following experimentally on my Windows 8 machine: 0 = success 1 = access denied 128 = no such process Is there an official documentation for these? Official error code documentation

I want to write a simple batch file to kill a process that contains certain text in the window title. Right now I have: taskkill /fi "Windowtitle eq XXXX*" /im cmd.exe And that works, except what I want to do is use the wildcard both at the beginning AND end of the title. So something like: taskkill /fi "Windowtitle eq \*X*" /im cmd.exe But I tried this and it does not work. Is there something I'm missing or is this not possible? No, wildcards are not allowed at the start of the filter. for /f "tokens=2 delims=," %%a in (' tasklist /fi "imagename eq cmd.exe" /v /fo:csv /nh ^| findstr /r /c:".

I am working on a boost.asio based HTTP server. It is supposed to be stopped externally. We use asio signal handling, and it works well for ctrl-c, but does not handle WM_CLOSE, so there is no straightforward way to gracefully close the application externally, e.g. via taskkill. Terminating the process forcibly is not an option. Is there a known approach to this? Update Just use any IPC method you would "normally" use Write a simple process control utility that uses e.g. named_condition to signal your asio process to shutdown. Note that named_codition is somewhat equivalent to a Win32 Named

Is there a way to notify an activity/service of a force-close request right before it gets killed? I mean when the user hits the force close button in Menu > Settings > Applications > Manage applications > app name > Force Close . Charlie Collins I think the ActivityManager just kills the hosting process, so you may not be able to get any event/message/warning. To check you could create an app that has a single Activity that lets you know if onDestroy is called, and further if isFinishing is invoked. The path to Menu > Settings > Applications > Manage applications > app name > Force Close in

I install a service/daemon, which needs to be killed before uninstall and reinstall. I already found out how to do it for uninstall : [UninstallRun] Filename: "taskkill"; Parameters: "/im ""My Service.exe"" /f"; Flags: runhidden The [Run] section, however, runs after install, so I can't use it for that. What is the best way to kill the process using taskkill before install? Please note that I specifically want to kill the process. A more complex solution using IPC offers no benefits in my case, I just want to execute taskkill before installing a particular file. I found a way using the
