Hi,
How can I terminate process using vbscript. PLEASE NOTE, I need to terminate process that runs under windows 64-bit environment as native 64 (not using select * from win_32_Process)
Moving to windows subforum
I use this script .vbs:
Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
Dim MsgBox2,Q,message
MSGBOXTitle ="Taskkill Tool 2012"
Q = InputBox("What is the name of the .exe you want me to kill??? Enter it as name.exe" , MSGBOXTitle)
MsgBox "The following file will be killed: " & Q
strCommand = "taskkill /F /IM " & Q
WshShell.Run strCommand, 0, TRUE
message = "Thanks for using the tool to kill processes!"
MsgBox2 = MsgBox(message,vbExclamation,MSGBOXTitle)
NB Taskkill must be in your path.
Try and let me know.
I have run this code,
nMaxRunTime=180
intCount = 0
strProcessKill = "'notepad.exe'"
Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
Set colProcesses = GetObject("winmgmts:" & "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2").ExecQuery("Select * from Win32_Process Where Name = " & strProcessKill)
For Each objProcess in colProcesses
Return = objProcess.GetOwner\(strNameOfUser\)
If strNameOfUser = "SYSTEM" Then
Wscript.Echo "Object " & strProcessKill & " Can't be deleted owned by " & strNameOfUser & VBNewLine
Else
Wscript.Echo "Process " & objProcess.Name & " is owned by " & " \\ " & strNameOfUser & " on Machine " & strComputer & "."
nRunTime = datediff\("s",WMIDateStringToDate\(objProcess.CreationDate\), Now\)
if nRuntime > nMaxRunTime Then
strCommand = "taskkill /F /IM " & objProcess.Name
WshShell.Run strCommand,0,TRUE
intCount = intCount + 1
End If
End If
Next
If intCount > 0 Then
'Dim fso, txtFile
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set txtFile = fso.OpenTextFile(logPath, 8)
txtFile.WriteLine("===========================================" & VBNewLine & VBNewLine & Date & " - " & Time & " Killed " & intCount & strProcessKill & " processe(s) which were running by" & strNameOfUser & " on Machine " & strComputer & ".")
End If
But i am getting error that Unable to wait for a process (WshShell.Run)

The problem is i am trying to kill a session if it exceeds some particular timings in 64 bit server., i am not able to do it., tried objProcess.Terminate() method (its working for few components like notepad,excel etc but not for SAS components) ., so i thought of using taskkill function ., but even here i am getting problems. Any help would be much appreciated.
