kill

I have some c# code which opens a Powerpoint slide, refreshes the graphs, and then quits. This works fine, unless the user already has a Powerpoint slide open, in which case it will close down their existing session (losing any changes they may have made!) once the exe has run. So, the issue is if you have PPT’s open in the background, run my EXE which runs the below code (opening up a template, refreshing some graphs, saving and closing), upon application exit it disposes of the variable ppApp which seems to close down every running PPT. This is even the case if I omit ppApp.Quit();

I have a X.exe program that takes about 2-6 hours to finish. Exact time is unknown, but I'd like to implement a threshold of 6.5 or 7 hours. If this program does not return any value by this amount of time, it will be killed. How do I implement this using batch *.bat files? Here is what I had so far: a timer bat1.bat and an actual bat2.bat . bat1.bat: start cmd /C bat2.bat & timeout /t 25200 & taskkill /im X.exe /f bat2.bat: cd blah bat1.bat The problem with this approach is that only after 25200 seconds (or 7 hours) the timer will be stopped, and it won't be terminated before that limit. How

Having class which has a long method. Creating a thread for that method. How i can kill\terminate this thread? Main problem is that i can't check for threading.Event in thread run() method because it doesn't contain loop. Similar code as here: import time import threading class LongAction: def time_consuming_action(self): tmax = 600 for i in range(tmax): print i time.sleep(1) time.sleep(tmax) self.tmax = tmax return "Slept well" class LongActionThread(threading.Thread): def __init__(self, la_object): self.la = la_object threading.Thread.__init__(self) def run(self): self.la.time_consuming

i got jailbreak iphone ios 6 in my tweak on ios 4&5 I used (void) kill to close other app running in the background. this is my code: #import "SBApplication.h" SBApplication *app ; app = [[objc_getClass("SBApplicationController") sharedInstance] applicationWithDisplayIdentifier:@"my killed program id "]; if(app) [app kill]; now when i trying that in ios 6 i cant get this to work ! need help? Just to expand on Victors answer a bit... you want to get the pid from the application and if it is greater than 0(a valid pid), kill it with either SIGTERM(Nicer, though it's not guaranteed to kill it) or

I have a set of processes that run in parallel. Occasionally some hang around longer than the script is supposed to allow: $time_start = microtime(true) $max_run_time = 30 * 60; // 30 minutes, measured in seconds while ((microtime(true)-$time_start) < $max_run_time) { // do stuff, but quit after 30 minutes } I'd like to kill old processes of this script that have been around longer than 30 minutes. How can I do as much from the command line? Here's a sample of current running processes: > ps aux | grep script.php my_user 856 28.3 0.7 546152 234568 ? S 11:46 88:42 php /path/to/my/script.php my

I have a service listening to some events from server. A service has START_STICKY flag that makes him restart when it's killed by OS. When service receive an event i have two scenarios. First, if activity isn't killed i need to send result to local broadcast receiver and update UI. Second, if it's killed by OS i want to recreate it and send data in bundle. But i don't know how to recognize that android killed my activity. onDestroy activity event doesn't come in this situation. @Override public void onComplete(CurrentOrdersResponse response) { if (response == null) { return; } boolean
