So you need tools to list/kill running programs/processes

The support tools for w2k have tlist/kill,
XP has tasklist/taskkill
The free pstools from http://www.sysinternals.com contain pslist/pskill.
The also free cmdow from http://www.commandline.co.uk can do both.

Since the options and the output of the tools varies, you should
state your os and preferrence.

Unless it is not an option for you, VBScript may be a good option. The
below is based on my simple "Kill Process If Running" script at
http://www.adminscripteditor.com/scriptlibrary/view.asp?id=443

There are also similar KiXtart functions at:
http://www.adminscripteditor.com/scriptlibrary/view.asp?id=145
http://www.adminscripteditor.com/scriptlibrary/view.asp?id=146



KillProcess = "a.exe"

Set Shell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
Set ProcessList =
GetObject("winmgmts://.").InstancesOf("win32_process")

For Each Process In ProcessList
If Process.Name = KillProcess Then
Process.Terminate
ProcessKilled = "True"
End If
Next

If ProcessKilled <> "True"
Shell.Run ("b.exe")
End If
