Close an application using VBScript

Question

I was trying to open and close an application. I tried like this:

Dim App1 
Set App1 = CreateObject(\"WScript.Shell\")
App1.Run(\"firefox\")
App1.Quit
         


        

Answer 1

Here is an alternative VBScript implementation:

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()
