Hi,

I have a need to create an app that will check on my pc what apps are
running and if one is found that shouldn't be running, shut it down.
How can I do this in c# or what areas should I be looking at in the
framework? Code samples or snips appreciated.

Thanks,

JJ
 
Hi,

you could use the Process class of the framework. With the GetProcesses
method you get the processes with the Kill method you can stop a
process.

something like this


Process[] processes = Process.GetProcesses();
foreach(Process process in processes){
if(process.MainWindowTitle == "SomethingWhatIWant"){
process.CloseMainWindow();
// or if it is not having main window then kill it
// use only one of this, dont need both
process.Kill();
}
}
