Batch program to to check if process exists

Question

I want a batch program, which will check if the process notepad.exe exists.

if notepad.exe exists, it will end the process

Answer 1

That's why it's not working because you code something that is not right, that's why it always exit and the script executer will read it as not operable batch file that prevent it to exit and stop so it must be

tasklist /fi "IMAGENAME eq Notepad.exe" 2>NUL | find /I /N "Notepad.exe">NUL
if "%ERRORLEVEL%"=="0" (
msg * Program is running
goto Exit
)
else if "%ERRORLEVEL%"=="1" (
msg * Program is not running
goto Exit
)

rather than

@echo off
tasklist /fi "imagename eq notepad.exe" > nul
if errorlevel 1 taskkill /f /im "notepad.exe"
exit
