kill-process

I have a background service that sometimes gets killed by the OS when it is running low on memory. How to simulate this behaviour so I can debug it? The dev guide simply says "if your service is started, then you must design it to gracefully handle restarts by the system. If the system kills your service, it restarts it as soon as resources become available again". What's the sequence of calls from when it gets killed to when it finishes restarting? On a side (related) question, what happens to an actively running AsyncTask started in the service when the service gets killed by the OS, i.e.,

The usefullness of task killer apps is debated, but I'm wondering: how do they actually work? How is it possible to kill particular process? Is there an API for this, and if so what does it actually do ? EDIT Worth adding: I saw task killer apps kill processes on not rooted devices . So, I wonder how is it possible to kill process, which you don't own in Android? In a nutshell, Automatic Task Killers work by polling the OS for a list of currently running processes and the memory they are consuming. Then either with an intelligent algorithm or with user input the Task Killers issue a call to

In Windows what can look for port 8080 and try to kill the process it is using through a .BAT file? Here's a command to get you started: FOR /F "tokens=4 delims= " %%P IN ('netstat -a -n -o ^| findstr :8080') DO @ECHO TaskKill.exe /PID %%P When you're confident in your batch file, remove @ECHO . FOR /F "tokens=4 delims= " %%P IN ('netstat -a -n -o ^| findstr :8080') DO TaskKill.exe /PID %%P Note that you might need to change this slightly for different OS's. For example, on Windows 7 you might need tokens=5 instead of tokens=4 . How this works FOR /F ... %variable IN ('command') DO

I am starting Internet Explorer programmatically with code that looks like this: ProcessStartInfo startInfo = new ProcessStartInfo("iexplore.exe"); startInfo.WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Hidden; startInfo.Arguments = "http://www.google.com"; Process ieProcess = Process.Start(startInfo); This generates 2 processes visible in the Windows Task Manager. Then, I attempt to kill the process with: ieProcess.Kill(); This results in one of the processes in Task Manager being shut down, and the other remains. I tried checking for any properties that would have children processes, but found none. How

How can I kill some active processes by searching for their .exe filenames in C# .NET or C++? ConsultUtah Quick Answer: foreach (var process in Process.GetProcessesByName("whatever")) { process.Kill(); } (leave off .exe from process name) My solution is: var chromeDriverProcesses = Process.GetProcesses(). Where(pr => pr.ProcessName == "chromedriver"); foreach (var process in chromeDriverProcesses) { process.Kill(); } You can use Process.GetProcesses() to get the currently running processes, then Process.Kill() to kill a process. tomloprod If you have the process ID ( PID ) you can kill this

I'm writing an application in C# that opens an Excel template file for read/write operations. I want to when user closes the application, excel application process has been closed, without saving excel file. See my Task Manager after multiple runs of the app. I use this code to open the excel file : public Excel.Application excelApp = new Excel.Application(); public Excel.Workbook excelBook; excelBook = excelApp.Workbooks.Add(@"C:/pape.xltx"); and for data access I use this code : Excel.Worksheet excelSheet = (Worksheet)(excelBook.Worksheets[1]); excelSheet.DisplayRightToLeft = true; Range rng
