Killing specific instances of external application

[scalt]

Hello

I would like to know if it's possible to kill a specific instance of an external application. I need to run a certain application many times concurrently and sometimes I need to kill a specific one.

The way I thought of doing this is by using the process Id (PID) of the applications, but is it possible to do this with xlobby?

Thanks

I use a bat file to kill all emulators I have open that is triggered via the stop button on a remote.

Here is what the batch file looks like:

Code: Select all

taskkill /f /im mamep.exe
taskkill /f /im stella.exe
taskkill /f /im Project64.exe
taskkill /f /im zsnesw.exe
taskkill /f /im zplayer.exe
taskkill /f /im epsxe.exe


I think you can use /PID and then the id instead of the /im that I use.

Is there a way to get the PID of the application when launcing it from Xlobby to be able to kill it afterwards

Here is what I want to do

execute : app.exe -op1 val0 -op2 val313 ->PID=1001
execute : app.exe -op1 val3 -op2 val353 ->PID=1002
execute : app.exe -op1 val1 -op2 val123 ->PID=1003
execute : app.exe -op1 val5 -op2 val357 ->PID=1004
execute : app.exe -op1 val7 -op2 val504 ->PID=1005

And the be able to kill for exemple the app.exe with PID=1002

Is this possible with xlobby?

Sorry that is a bit beyond me. Hopefully someone will jump in here and help you out.

Only if you lounch it from i.e. XScriptNG pluginm that is, VB... You should then be able to get process ID and kill it, there should be plenty of code which demonstrates this on net, just google a bit and you'll find it....
